[QUOTE="Scottysg, post: 199609, member: 3517"] Sigh, Okay. Flywheel puller in the mail now. I don't have too much experience lapping flywheels. Just done 1, but it worked out. Ive also jammed q tips into my dremel, coated in chrome polish, and stuck it in my carbs needle valve to polish it smooth and it doesn't leak any more. I had no idea that I should be able to hit the flywheel with a hammer and have it hold so strongly! I will use that as my test method for when I can stop lapping it. Thanks for the info on what compounds you use. Ill give it a shot! Ive been trying really hard to find a needle bearing inner race that is 17mm id x 22mm od x 45mm long (stock is 55) but it seems like they don't make them that long. Im sure they probably have a different name if they are over a certain length, so Im just not searching the right keywords. Ill keep trying. This would save me the time and money of having a machine shop cut mine down .375" and not worry about heat causing a distortion of the dimensions. I don't know anything about machining hardened steel. Thats all I have for now, hopefully Ill have some time tonight to finish removing material from the swingarm and get a shot of it all lined up :D PS. Someone please convince me not to polish the swingarm since its off [/QUOTE]
