It'll be a few more days. lol I ordered what I thought I read off of the old bearings... 6007-2RS. I got those today and they're huge. Turns out it says 6003-2RS. :doh:

I got the new mount bearings in and got the crank installed. I made a vid. Of course I screwed this one up too. I can never do a vid and do something smooth. Oh well. Maybe it'll help someone anyway.

My issue was actually the guide pins. The bearing started easily. The guides either didn't line up just right when I tried at first or were a little too snug. I took it outside quickly and the bolts went right in without feeling like there was any additional force on them and pulled the cases together effortlessly. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous for a minute there. lol

Thanks fellas. I'd love to see more vids from you John. Dirty shop or not, you do some cool sh.... And in the brief bit where you saw my garage in that vid, there's a big pile of crap you can see and a bigger one behind the cam. The secret is to push it aside and make a big enough area that looks cleanish on film. lol

I went out and popped the crank seals in and stuck the final drive transmission back together this morning. After giving the gasket maker some time to cure, I came back out and put the centerstand on and then the brake shoes and rear wheel. When I put the rear wheel on it was really hard to turn. I took the wheel off, thinking it was a drum issue. No such luck. I could barely turn the gears. Had to pull the trans back apart. It was fine with the bolts hand tight, but once torqued it froze up. I ended up pulling out the little washer, shown below, and it's fine now. I didn't use a gasket (didn't have one) so I assume that is the issue. The odd part is that I never used a gasket on T1 and I used the washer and it turned fine. Just figured I'd share that info incase anyone else runs across this problem. While I was at it, I finally removed a bolt that's been broken off in the case (CVT cover bolt) for a long time. I was asked long ago to make how-to for removing a busted bolt, so here's a little video of a bolt extraction.

It's actually still apart, didn't feel like cleaning all the old material off and redoing it at the time. I just put it together without sealing it and torqued it down to make sure it solved the problem before I did all the cleanup and sealant application for possibly no reason. Without the washer everything moves freely.

Is it the idler gear washer?looks like one is needed there as it fits into a bushed hole instead of a ball bearing.Lots of side thtrst with helical gears might cause some wear to start at the bushing flange...

Yeah that's the one, and it was in the right spot. I though about possible wear as well, but it seemed so convenient that the shim is the same thickness as a gasket. I guess maybe I should get a gasket and be sure it's fine. Trying to be cheap, but it won't be worth it if I screw up the case.

Be real cheap like me and cut your own gasket!Or maybe find a thinner shim in your washer pile?

Hmmm. Might have something that would work from shimming varis. Otherwise, I think it's too thin already for any normal washer to work. I'm bad at making gaskets so I'd spend the money on the gasket before I got more material and then cursed it. lol

Dang. The shim is .5mm and the thinnest thing I have is also .5mm. Coulda swore I had some .1mm shims, guess not. Oh well, I'll get a gasket.
