Yamaha 175 Enduro lower end build, CT 3 

Thanks Pat, I sure appreciate the kind words, and I am so glad these videos are a help. I know you will be able to make that repair successfully. It's not all that difficult if you have the tools, just remember to measure everything before disassembly, just so you have that info if you need it. Good luck my friend.

Thanks buddy, you are welcome, and I appreciate your insight into Crank Float.

Thanks Peter, appreciate the kind words sir.

Thanks Mark, glad you are finding some value in these videos, I am having fun making them and it's a super bonus when I know they have helped someone to maintain their bikes. Thanks for spending time with me in the shop.

Yes the plastic hammer gets used more than the steel one around here.

Heck Jim, I think I used too much, but the syringe is more controllable than the finger method, I think.

Yes, hope to have him running by the weekend.

Thank you. Sure appreciate you stopping by.

You are welcome, glad they are of some help. Best of luck with your project.

@@montana2strokeracer the plan is to put the bearings and seals in tonight after work and then hopefully get it assembled by following your video! If all goes well hopefully she’s running by this weekend.

Awesome, enjoy your bike again, I know you will.

Thank you, Mark, appreciate your support.

Thanks Jeff, sure appreciate your support.

Yes, thanks for the hint, I totally get it. Sometimes I feel a little overworked as is. I am retired for crying out loud. LOL!!

Hey Graham, Yamaha makes a product for the older models such as this 73, it is a graphite impregnated string, that you stuff up in the exhaust manifold before you slide the pipe in. It is 248-14623-10-00, it works really good to keep the pipe from leaking oil out of it. It's just pulled up tight with the springs that hold the pipe in.

@@montana2strokeracer Thanks so much Dale. I'll order some.

Dean you caught all these yanks sleeping or at work. Awesome buddy

Well Chris you are in luck I did a video on exactly that subject just a couple weeks ago. Check it out here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iRir5YgOVl4.html thanks for watching buddy.

@@montana2strokeracer Thats very helpful, thanks!

It's off the bike got clutch side tore down, most of the magneto side tore down also but I didn't take the magneto itself off yet.

Hi Rick, yours is a little newer than I am used to messing with. However, I don't think it is that much different. I am at my down time for the summer. Trying to finish up projects and outside work so I can enjoy our short summer. I generally don't start taking on new outside work till the fall. You can contact me at dsweger@bresnan.net and we can discuss that work if you can wait till fall/winter timeframe. Thanks for contacting me, and for spending time with me in the shop.

Yes those are still available from Yamaha, just look them up by application at rockymountainATV/MC.com I have bought some from bearing supply house number is TA1512, but they are hard to find. Buy the Yamaha stuff.

never mind got em!

Normally I put the cases in the oven at 250 degrees F, for an hour. Put the bearings in the freezer overnight. They will drop right in. But you have to be quick.

did the old bearings in the freezer, torch the case, then lube it up trick.bearings are in, currently about to try and put the case back together and make sure the transmission lines up.@@montana2strokeracer

Dang Frank, you're slowing down buddy

Wow Cain you let Dean grab 1st.
