06 CRF 450 Oil Nozzle?

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

I know a guy who whipped a 3 jaw puller on the flywheel and yanked it off! He said he saw the nozzle move in. How much trouble is he in? I have yet to look at it, if it can be pulled back? Or has anyone tried the Falicon cranks? Ceramic bearings? Oh boy, another one with tools! This could get pricey!

There is a good chance he is hosed. The proper Honda tool is really cheap and worth buying for CRF owners. It's hard to feel sorry for anyone dumb enough to put a 3 jaw puller on ANY flywheel.

Falicon was sold to new owners a while back. The original people who made that company great , aren't running the show anymore. As a result the quality of the product and customer support has gone to hell. Avoid them.

Ceramic bearings have no business in a dirtbike. They have their applications but dirt bikes (emphasis on DIRT) are not it.

Hey Rich, have you ever seen a diagram of how that nozzle sits in the crank? Flush with the end and pressed in? are there passages?
