    hey guys. managed to source another engine for my aerox. wiht bits from my old engine and this one i should be able to get her going smooth. im just finishing off the transmission before remounting the engine.

    I took off the gearbox cover and removed it. the bike does have a gear up :D. but both the gears in there i cant get out.

    at the other end i have removed the back wheel and the brake disc but i need to remove the shaft that attaches to the back wheel and the gears but i cant get the gears out :( anyone know how to do the job

    i know on the piaggio gear boxes the output gear has a circlip holding it in place, and needs to be removed before the gear will come out :glare:

    maybe its the same on the aerox gears...

    i can never find my circlip pliars when i need them, so i sharpened the ends of an old pair of long nose pliars to a point, and use them to remove circlips ;)

    alot of shit
    tried applying a touch of heat to the bearing inner ?

    have had shafts seized on bearings before, as Minor once said "heat is your friend"

    hey mate well i used heat to take the circlip out. the bearing is fucked tbh. i will be buying a new oil seal, circlip and bearing before fitting the gears to my new engine. i'll have a crack tomorrow and try and heat the bearing up and then give it a knock see what happens. :beg:
