    Thanks Joe, I'm gonna try and find a friend with a blind hole bearing puller. There is no way to drive them out without messing something up *#@(! Yamaha ! why they do this stupid engineering?

    All Balls makes a front bearing kit with seals that sells for about $25.00 That's half of what yamaha gets for the oem parts ordered individually. The part number for the kit is 12-5545

    That's not smoke, it's a con trail

    Thanks, I have the Yamaha P/N for bearings & seals, Just thought i may get a better bearing and seal going aftermarket. Only got 55K out of this set.

    if you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

    How much did you take off the bolt head ? With all you've been through already with this 1 off brake conversion, does this latest hiccup surprise you !?

    No offence, but I Think I'll wait on a 2nd Gen owner, don't want to get the wrong parts.

    Well... if any of you want to get rid of a backrest, I have a spot picked out on the wifes trike for it. Just let me know and we'll come to some sort of an agreement.

    Yeah, but she's probably about 70 years old now

    Putting a new 150/80-16 Venom on the front and I feel a tight spot on both wheel bearings. I am going to replace them. I have 2 questions. A search here did not help me much. (1) How do you get the bearings out ? With the inner spacer I see no way to use a standard bearing puller or a drift punch to knock em out, no lip to drive them out. (2) Sourcing the bearing and seal? Yamaha part or from a bearing supply ? Aftermarket part numbers?

    Tomorrow Depends on what is waiting for me on the Left coast

    It is now contaminated with heavy metals and considered hazardous waste ! Take it to a recycling center. OR If you have a neighbor you hate, pour it in his yard and call the EPA from a pay phone !

    You'd never hear me do any of those things.
  16. ragtop69gs
    OUCH that's one expensive line! Can't ya shorten the bolt instead of beating up your bike?

    Take a look at THIS link.

    Don't worry Don... we got your back.

    How about an Automatic front fairing opener, it would save Cougar alot of time when adding more relay's to control the relays.

    You need to back off the top locking ring before trying to tighten the lower ring. You'll find it much easier to do with the right tool. When you put the tool on your torque wrench it must be at a 90* angle to the torque wrench handle to get a proper reading. The next time you take it apart it will go faster, don't ask how I know this !

    How's that wheel wobble now ?

    Don, Thats good news The brake swap is pretty straight forward, The only thing that is done differently is the new caliper bracket will go on the outside of the knuckle mounting surface. If you look back in my posts here you will find some pictures. I think it took 20 minutes per side to do the swap.

    Well.... at least these uncharted waters haven't sunk your ship. Have you actually figured out. which is wrong, the pads or calipers ? Having to grind the pads sure takes all the fun out of an otherwise easy job. You know, it's possible there are 2 different CRX models, maybe a standard and a Hi performance version or a mid year engineering change to the brakes.

    I see him ! Good shot. Your Call.
