Timberwolf Fins and flywheel bearings

[Rob75]

How much is 'ain't cheap'? -A steel version could become available....

Do the shims just increase the blade/anvil distance, I have fitted new bearings and even with no shims the gap is 4-5mm, how do I get the 2mm recommended?

Fly wheel bearings whent on my tw150 yesterday. Just bought full overhaul bearing kit being all confident about striping it down! but struggling at the first hurdle to get the thing apart!! Just read this post and am now thinking I should have left it to a professional How much should I expect to be paying for this to be done?? And does any one know any where near Gatwick area they can recommend?

Green Plant are about 30 miles away at Guildford.

Orange Plant at Burgess Hill are nearer, but not sure if they do TW any more?

11 years later I still refer to this post over the workshop manual. Thanks Dean, you're a credit to the Arb industry.

Thank you for the brilliant guide on this

 

Has a fan go on the TW 150 last week so just stripped it down to inspect, will replace bearings/belts at same time

 

One query I have (first time I've been balls deep in a TW) on removal of the flywheel I can see the inner bearing race has chattered/worn into the backplate

 

The bearing has a bit of play but was nowhere near shot

 

Looking at the bearing housing there are no shims, but even so it sits proud but approx 0.4mm

 

Just hoped one of you might be able to advise if this is normal or something to address

 

Thanks all

So 150 has a rumple and today a ticking noise coming from rotor housing, me thinking time to change bearings, when ordering part will I need to replace shafts. And do you need a hydraulic press to put bearings in.

Shafts are screwed together. Although sometimes damn tight.

 

Bearings can be knocked out and carefully knocked back in with a vice/soft hammer/big socket.
