<DIV>It's the same as other OS motors. It won't slide easily because of
residue build up on the pin, so you might have to either use a solvent to loosen
it. Try to get your finger onto the midpoint of the conrod and push it
towards the back as you rotate the crankshaft back & forth. Eventually
it will go.</DIV>

bearing replacement</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I don't know about that motor, but on many motors you have to
remove the sleeve so you can get the piston/con rod assembly to move enough
toward the back of the motor to get the con rod off the crankshaft.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone replaced the bearings in their OS
120 Ax? What's the trick? I've done plenty of bearings but this one is
different. After removing everything, including the sleeve, I can't slide
the rod far enough back to get it off the crankpin. The pin boss in the
piston is too narrow to allow the rod to slide far enough. If anyone has
done this already I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!</FONT></DIV>
