MFX Posted 4March, 2020 Report Share Posted 4March, 2020 This week Harry has had to go onto the back burner, because Archie needs a new clutch and on a 996, that means IMS and RMS while I am there.

Stephen Tinker Posted 8March, 2020 Report Share Posted 8March, 2020 Hey Jeff - a quick question... Before trying to remove the bearing, you punched the slotted centre retaining bolt through into the IMS shaft - how did you pull it back into the bearing? I was under the impression that once the bolt was "floating loose" in hollow shaft you wouldn't be able to fish it out again.... I believe its the steel retaining spring stopping the bearing from being pulled out - it goes with quite a loud snap when using the (expensive) puller supplied by LN Engineering.

MFX Posted 10March, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 10March, 2020 In this episode I replace the rear main seal and the clutch on Archie 996, and button it all back up. Hopefully it will run!

It was actually quite easy to get the bolt back in with a magnet. That was probably the easiest part of the whole thing tomo, DT and firstone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
