how to replace crankshaft

[immarco83]

Hello and thanks for reading! I thought I had a bad flower nut for the clutch plate and after 2 new ones i was told my clutch shaft might be stripped on my grubee gt5 2011. Is replacing that shaft easy or do I have to split the case? please help fellow motor bicyclists!

You don't have to split the cases. Strip both ends of the shaft, and then you can pound the shaft out of the case. That's the only way I know to get it out.

It's usually a tight fit, so you really have to whack it hard to get it out. I usually put a 2x4 against the shaft and beat on that with a big hammer. One of the bearings will come out with it.

not a really hard job, but quite a bit of work for a might be situation

I'd suggest being sure that it's stripped before starting this.
