Hi Brenner

I have replaced the main bearings in the V4. I was surprised how 'loose' the fit is - I machined up an inserting tool to press on the outer race, and the bearings were really just inserted by hand using this. Yes, they are all the way home (recess visible above the bearings) - and I had a good press with my insertion tool using an arbor press to confirm.

When I put the gearcase/collet on the motor shaft, and torque the pinion gear bolt to 3Nm, the gear case becomes difficult to turn. Loosen the bolt, and it turns freely. Everything is assembled as per page 14 of the instructions. Bearings are all the way home.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Andrew
