CL crank

Post by GORDON BROWN » Tue Feb 26, 2019 3:39 am

Hello Mike

Graham has answered the questions, unfortunately I am a bit away from Norfolk, near Edinburgh. If you don't want to fit a new end to what you have I will see what I have.

I can probably find you a fresh crank end and fit it for you if your Engineering shop cannot help.

I got the crank yesterday afternoon and pulled off the generator side web. The big end cage looked a bit horrible and one or two rollers were damaged but the rod and big end pin looked fine.

Image

I didn't have a CL77 generator-side web so I used a CB77 part and blocked off the oil hole.

Image

Having done that side I decided that I couldn't leave the other side of the crank untouched. The other big end had the same nasty-looking wear on the cage but the rollers looked fine. In went another fresh cage after a good clean up.

Image

Everything went back nicely and trued up without any drama. It should do the job for the forseeable future.

thanks

Haven't been here much since the spam, I have removed several taps and broken bolts over the years with a plasma cutter, pretty much washes the the bolt out with damaging the threads. The tap you just cut through the center.

Please do NOT go anywhere near it with a plasma cutter, you could easily wreck it. I have been in the fabrication industry all my life and have many years experience with these machines and would not attempt it on one of my cranks.
I suggest you go to you tube and look at methods of broken tap removal.

Hope this helps, Al.
