just break down and buy it !

I spent way to much time trying to make a sheave puller tool for my g1. I finally broke down and ordered one off ebay before I tore anything up ( 26 bucks). Will aftermarket crankshaft bearings and seals be ok for a 28 year old beater cart or should I spend the extra for o.e ?

Aftermarket bearings are fine. They won't last as long as the Yamaha stuff, but they work well.

Sometimes it pays to have the right tools!

ok, I got the puller bolt to remove the pulley. used an impact ,as directed ,ended up bending the bolt and still did not break the pulley loose. I almost didn't get it back out. what am I missing , do I need heat, wd40 , better quality puller (ebay cheapee ) please advise.

It must really be rusted on there. Yes a good penetrating oil and wait a few days, spraying it daily. It'll come loose. Don't over do it, something always gives and you don't want to break the clutch. Normally it pops right off.

After treating with penetrating oil, NOT WD40, tighten the puller in
stages and tap the end with a hammer, walk away and come back later and tighten again.
Sooner or later it will pop off. Be sure and grease the threads of the puller.

I bent my first puller & the bolt I then tried to heat with torches no luck. then got a automotive puller & used it had a lot of tq on it with the impact gun then it let loose sounded like a 22 going off the funny thing was the shaft had greese all over it no rust. someone must have over tightened it before.

I normally run the puller up tight,and whack the end of it with a decent size hammer,usually 1 or 2 hits and they pop.
