Message: [QUOTE="colbyc28, post: 1242333, member: 73994"] [b]How to change lower connecting rod bearing??[/b] Hello all, I have just started to re-build my lower end on an 89 YZ 250. I am doing this because the gear shifting shaft has badly worn splines on it. So I figure that while I am at it, I'll go ahead and replace all of the bearings and seals since I have to split the case and all. I do have a manual, but it is currently in the packed up in some boxes somewhere because I recently moved, it could be months before it re-surfaces. My question probably seems like a no-brain-er to the many seasoned pros out there but here it goes: How do I get the pin out of the crankshaft assembly that holds the connecting-rod and bearing in place? I have the crankshaft assembly totally out of the engine and in my hand. I see to little inserts that cover a hole, so I knocked one of those out and looked through there and I see no way that you can push that pin through. Am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
