Cranks a lot

[Snails]

Hi

I've posted this on other forums so some of you may of seen this before but I'm totaly stuck!

I'm having a problem fitting a J125 crank to my Lui engine casing. I've tried pulling the crank with the front sprocket and also freezing the crank and heating the engine and pushing it through but get nowwhere. I've also tried both methods combined. I raised the subject on the LCGB site (http://www.forums.ilambretta.com/viewto ... rt=15)buts its stalled and maybe someone else on here might have a suggestion?

Anyone prepared to own up to having knocked a crank through?

Jem Booth knows all about the J range, he would know. Have you tried pulling it through with a crank puller, or a piece of thick walled tube the right dimensions should do it.
