splitting a modern morocycle type crank shaft

off topic slightly but....

my dad uses a yamaha two stroke engine for fishing out at sea and the big-end shell has failed on it..

so he is looking for someone local to him ( Northumberland ) that can split a crank shaft, replace the bearings, then put back together. He would be supplying the parts


U2U me any phone numbers of people that may help.

TIA Alan

Has it really got shell bearings?

Two strokes normally have roller bearing big ends. It's a fairly precision job as the crank has to be pressed back together absolutely straight which involves much use of V blocks, DTI and a copper hammer.

Stan Stephens is the god of two strokes and offer a crank rebuilding service.

Armstrongs on Westgate hill in Newcastle did a couple of jetski cranks for me about 7-8 years ago . You'll probably need a new crank pin as well as a bearing. Did a few two stroke bike cranks myself years ago when I had access to decent presses.
