February 4, 201313 yr How do I remove crankcase on a montesa 200 when main bearings are seized due to twenty standing that's if I'm stripping it right,engine split about half inch but bearings are seized and all rusty and I don't want any damage,help wanted.
February 4, 201313 yr have you removed kickstart idler gear ,,also maybe knock gear selector shaft through ,and undue the 3 screws on the selector drum and remove the cover ,also you could remove crank seals and get some wd40 in there ,close it back up and then try again
February 5, 201313 yr Dumb question but do you have the flywheel and primary drive gear off? Don't hit me
February 5, 201313 yr Author Yeah left side all stripped I presume this side comes off first as I don't want to disturb all gears
February 5, 201313 yr heat the outside of the case around the main bearing you want to come out of the casing. Use discretion to avoid overheating the aluminium. You are aiming for about 150 to 180 degrees celsius
February 5, 201313 yr Author I presume I have got it right then by removing this side first so gears are intact with other side
February 6, 201313 yr I haven't pulled a Cota 200 apart so don't know the answer. Surely it is no big deal to work out what to do as the sides come apart and support the motor with the side down that you want the bits to stay in.
