ok, so your american crank is crap, or your aussie gear is . they might have honed the other gear out to get it on.

Shaun, his old roll master crank gear came off fairly easy . his new one won't go on . he cant measure the gears because he broke his calipers.

I remember seeing Magnum on some paperwork way back. Was probably over kill.

yeah, it has bigger journals which is why your gear doesn't fit .  :lmao:

did your calipers fix themselves yet .  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

The other crank gear was tight, i used a puller to squeeze it off.

This one goes on till about the crank key then gets tight, it moves a couple of mm if i tap it but i don't want to cause damage to the gear or chain.

ok, you said sledge hammer.

remove the gear.

inspect the crank AND key CLOSELY for even a tiny flaw and fix it with a fine file if you see one.

Take some 280 grit wet/dry sandpaper and water or wd40 and sand the inside of the gear heavily . this will smooth any little machining burs or ridges etc.

put the gear in the oven at 300 f for 15 minutes.

put assembly oil on the crank.

install the gear with ease.

Well, i figured it would be tight but taping it 10 times to move it a mm or so seemed a bit extreme.

 :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Yes, i need to cut them..

 :lmao:


And i need to wet sand the gear a heap more, it fits a little easier but is still very tight. With no movement at the bottom it's impossible to get enough play to fit the top gear on the cam.
