How To Install a Dirt Bike Crankshaft using the Tusk Crank Puller/Installer 

Becusee it doesn’t come with the right size bolts. At least not for my yz 125

Nice work. We're happy to help. Let us know if ya run into any questions along the way! Thanks

@@rmatvmc what grease do use ?

Glad it helped! Thanks for checking out the video.

You can buy the 3/8 key stock locally in the UK for sure.

What tool did you go for?

Put case in oven to heat up... put bearings in freezer. Then the bearings will just drop in.

At 6:58 he states that both halves have liquid gasket applied

did u ever figure out the issue? dealing with this bullshit rn

spun bearings.

Did you try the rods?

@@troybrown6218 The load path through the bearing will be the same even if you use the rods as shown. Eventually I had an adapter made to press on the inner race as you do up the nut. Local machine shop did it for cheap once I did some measuring and supplied a drawing

That was my first thought when he was setting up the tool.

I think I have the same problem. Trying to set both cases in together. Crank is already pulled in one case. Trying to pull the crank thru the other side of the crank( the one with ridges at the end of the crank shaft). The hex bushing keeps coming right off since there’s nothing keeping it tension. On the other side it had the female adapter to make it easy

What a stupid question

The C-clip Adaptor is only required for 2 stroke KX models.

I was thinking the same thing. Also the flex you are putting on the case half isn't ideal. I would say push right against that inner race unless it's just absolutely is not an option.

@@joshmx28 +1 - definitely pull against the inner race. Then there is zero load on the bearings, no risk of damaging a brand new bearing before you even close up the case!

Yes I agree. Possibly you could smash up one of the old main bearings to get the inner race out, put that on top of the new main bearing so it's proud of the case, then use the puller on that so the force is only being transmitted through the inner race of the new main bearing. Ball bearing races don't like side loadings, it reduces their service life as you say

Gotta be a lil more specific than “scooter from Philippines”

I am doing one right now and what I did was I used the nut that goes on that side, it did not fit in the case you put first , and bought another one and grind out parts of nut to make it fit in. Good luck

That's what's up !!! I new you were probably working on it still just like me I have opened and closed that 65 motor about 6 times in 2 days , when I closed the case the rod didn't move smoothly and I saw a bearing out of place not all the way in put it where it should have been and the main (bearing came out with the rod ) now I need to buy a bearing splitter because is not even 1/6" opening in the back so there is no other solution I tried to fabricate a "home made tool" I tough it would work bit i ended up damaging the bearing a bit now its back to square one and a 2 week wait to get the bearings and tools to finish this , I. Not a mechanic a know some 2 stroke engines , not looking forward to 4 strokes ,too much money ... I had enough with 50 ,65 ktms and 85 kx , 9m glad I could give you a tip that worked ,if you have a tip for my problem ,your more that welcome 🙏 to help... be safe out there riding we can't afford to go to the hospitals , my little one broke his left arm yesterday they took the cast out and I'm getting his bike ready to race for when his ready to ride again. Bike dialed backyard track prime...

@ yes you'll end up whit 3 motor cases whiteout including your clutch cover and stator cover, and that's exactly the tools I bought, now I need a bearing separator because I took it out because one bearing was a bit of and the bearing stuck to the crank and I can't, not supposed to pull the crank in the case whit the bearing on the crank it should be on the case sitting flush on the case, that's another tool I need hopefully you don't do the same mistake , install the bearings in the case first then pull the crank in from bought sides and your seals come in from the outside so you can keep them safe until your case is closed

I used the flat part of the crank puller but they are goin in very easily with a bit of heat in the case.

@ not recommending, but I use a benzomatic .

Je suis désolé d'entendre ça. À la vôtre!

The steel rods come with the tool. If you had problems not receiving parts give us a call at 1-800-336-5437 and we'll get you taken care of.

Naved any luck lol I’m about to do that

@@PIZZAMANGAMING ...finally after 2 years....thanks for the reply bro✌

Sir, could you please share a image link for this .. Not getting the idea here

He used silicone. You can see it squish out.

How long would you heat the casings for? Would you use a heat gun or blow torch?

@@scott2495 heat gun 🔫 is a little slower but much preferred than a torch. A lot less chance of overheating.

no its pulling on the ball bearings, not a good design

Yes you can it's the exact same tool. Depending on where you get it, it may have different attachments. But they are all the same.... Tusk, motion pro and Buzzetti are all the same but prices do vary. motion pro and Tusk being the most expensive. Go with Buzzetti. In my opinion they are the best and not over priced. Also if you live in England or UK Buzzetti is kinda the only option as the other ones are made for the American Market.

CAN YOU USE IT ON ASINE SCOOTER FROM THE PHLLPINES LET ME KNOW THANK

@@smileyrod11 yes you can must make sure you buy the one that will fit your crank shaft. Some come with 10mm and 12mm attachments. You can also get a 10mm and 14mm attachments. Just make sure you get the right one

THANK BRO

This tool ensures that you're applying even pressure to the crank (using the steel bars shown at 5:00) which is important for proper crank installation. Plus, this tool comes with multiple different adaptors so it can be used on a variety of engines.

You know of a better tool?

Yes I agree. Possibly you could smash up one of the old main bearings to get the inner race out, put that on top of the new main bearing so it's proud of the case, then use the puller on that so the force is only being transmitted through the inner race of the new main bearing.

masking tape? I was thinking the same thing

Or a piece of alloy.
