<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Quick and easy once you have done the threading

<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>
