TW150 repair Herts/Essex/North London

[Mike F]

ok. I've had the chute and roller box all off.

 

It seems like its the bearing at the front of the flywheel - On page 46 of the TW manual its bearing 6205.

 

When I rotate the flywheel using a socket it grinds/binds for about 180 deg, then it frees up

 

I can't get that main shaft 24mm nut off (not even with a long steel bar) that holds the driveshaft together.

 

Does anyone know if this nut is reverse thread ?

 

Does anyone know if this bearing 6205 can be replaced without taking of the front plate of the rotor housing ?

 

I feel like I'm so close to being able to fix it

 

any advice gratefully received

What about trying Stuart browns , Toms father?
From my experience it’s usually worth getting an expert to look on it as you might need a load of other bits....other wise your bearings will go again in 6months.

Blimey, never though I would see this recommendation

You can often determine if it is a left or right hand thread if there is a bit of thread visible from the end of the shaft, just look at a normal bolt and you can see the start of the thread and then look at the shaft and see if it is the same.

I think you are referring to the big nut that's on the end of the shaft that retains the bearing housing, that's a normal thread that's best undone with a nut gun. When you have removed this and the small bearing there will be shims in there used to space the assembly for correct anvil clearance. If you are changing the front bearing there is a way of setting it up to avoid axial loading which will knob the bearings in short order. For that you will need some 12mm studding.
