I finally decided it was time to start putting stuff in the casing. w00t!
Giving the e50 one more bath before I put it to work. |
Next, I'm going to seal it up today and start the installation of the top end.

Bill prepping the weld |
We taped off all of the areas we didn't want the weld to get on and put a piece of tape between the two case halves to prevent the case from sticking together. |
Cutting off the excess with a razor blade |
Some soft filing to make flush. |
I had to rip the top off to get it open :) |
Side finished with the stick |
I used heat shrink to fill in the screw hole trying to prevent the weld from seeping into the hole. It ended up working really well. |
After it dried over night, we scored the weld down the middle and it cracked it open with out a fuss. |
Other side |
Install the gasket to mark the area that needs removed. |
My markings with the gasket and studs removed |
Some of the tools I used. |
The First Side It went pretty well I did smooth it out a bit more afterthis picturewas taken. I used a file and sand paper for that. |
Pulling off old bearings |
Image of bare shaft |
Installed snap ring |
Image of both bearings installed, I used a press for the one on the right and a rubber malled for the one of the left. |
Bearing 1 |
Bearing 2 Side note: I noticed I didn't have the bearing in far enough after I took this picture. Make sure your bearing is pressed in far enough. Don't forget the spacer between the bearings |
bearings, springs, and gear stoppers soaking in carb cleaner |
Back side of Idle Sprocket with clean bearings packed in new grease |
Once all the bearings are greased up it should be pretty easy to flip the sprocket over with out losing any bearings |
I'm not sure what these are called but they seem to hold down the clips that stop the sprocket from moving backwards and the screw cap. |
Installing the clip things I was just referring to |
and now the 3 ring covers |
Installing the clean bearings and grease on the front side over the sprocket |
All the bearings installed |
Adding grease to the screw cap After that I screwed the cap on (counter clock wise) and tapped it tight then spun it around a couple dozen times and wiped all the excess grease that seeped out. |
