Crank case bearing removal on a 7.5 IB

Postby nicksavino » Mon Jan 10, 2011 5:56 pm

I fried my bearings in the crank case and need to replace them. I also need to buy new ones. So my first question is how do you remove them and the second would be how much are the new ones. I was able to get the bearing in the front of the engine out with out any trouble but the main bearing inside of the motor is proving to be difficult. Sorry if you have answered this before i looked for a while before posted this but no dice. Thank you in advance.

Heat crankcase in oven or use a propane torch. Tap case on piece of wood. bearing will pop right out. Use heat to install new bearing.
