September 25, 201312 yr yeah not sure if he dealers doing it or me. i would love to. so yeah ill let you know what i do. are you having the same trouble? My bottom rod bearing is bad. I figured while I was in there, I would do the main bearings, crank seals, etc. I thought I had a local shop lined up to do it, but now I can't get a hold of him. Southwest Montesa has (had?) all the parts that I need, but they need a measurement off the rod to know which one to provide. I'm really tempted to try splitting the bottom end myself, but haven't worked up the nerve yet!
