Rotax Reduction Drive-Removal .
Tools Required.
13 mm socket
() mm socket
ratchet
() mm allen wrench
propane torch
hammer
Oil drain pan
Rotax reduction drive gear puller
Johnson bar
12 inches rope
Spark plug wrench
Procedure
For engine disassembly, or reduction drive repair it is necessary to remove the reduction
drive from the engine assembly. First drain the oil from the gear drive assembly, using a
() mm wrench to remove the drain plug from the bottom of the gear drive. With a ratchet
and socket/wrench and loosen the six, 13 mm nuts, retaining the drive to the adapter
plate. With all the nuts loose remove the top 4 in a gear down assembly, or the bottom 4,
in a gear up assembly.
Grasp the drive by the output shaft, and pull outwards on the drive. On older model drives
it may be necessary to turn the engine over while pulling out to allow the gear to clear
the gear oil slinger
This slingers no longer used and should be discarded.
With the drive removed it is next necessary to remove the adapter plate. To allow access
to the 4 allen head screws securing the adapter plate to the gear drive, it maybe
necessary to remove the 4 studs used to hold the gear drive to the adapter plate. To do
this screw one of the 13 mm nuts removed from the studs onto the stud, until it is near
the bottom of the threads. Now install another nut onto the stud until it locks against
the first nut. Now using 2, 13 mm wrenches tighten the nuts against each other. Then come
in and using a 13 mm wrench remove the stud, by turning counter clockwise
on the first nut.
Repeat for the remaining studs as necessary.
With the studs removed, use a hammer and sharply wrap each of the allen head retaining
screws. This will help shock them loose from the Blue Loctite used to help retain them.
Before attempting to remove the allen screws it is suggested that you use a propane torch
or B tank to heat the crankcase, in the area of the threads holding the bolts.
With the bolts shocked, the crankcase thread areas heated, use an allen wrench to remove
the four retaining screws. If you strip the heads of the screws, use a pair of VICE GRIP
style pliers to grab the outside of the screws, to aid in removal.
Rotax Reduction Drive- Gear Removal
Tools Required Tools Required
() socket
ratchet
Rotax gear puller
12" piece of rope spark plug wrench
Procedure
Using a spark plug wrench remove the spark plug from the PTO side cylinder. Turn the
engine over clockwise until it is past TDC and the piston is positioned about 1 inch down
in the cylinder. Take your 12 inches of rope and feed it through the spark plug hole until
8 inches or so are located in the combustion chamber.
Turn the engine over counter clockwise, until it locks up. Place your () mm socket onto
the bolts retaining the gear to the crankshaft. Using a Johnson bar turn the socket
counter clockwise until the bolt comes free. Remove the bolt, washer, and impeller, if so
equipped.
With the bolt removed, remove the rope from spark plug hole. Turn the engine over until
the PTO piston is at TDC. Rotate the crankshaft counter clockwise until the piston is
approximately 1 inch down in the cylinder. Again install your rope. Bring the piston up
until the engine locks up.
Install your Rotax gear puller into the threaded section of the gear
being sure to thread the outer puller half of the puller all the way
in.
Install the puller bolt in until it butts against the crankshaft end. Install a () mm
socket onto the end of the puller bolt, then using a Johnson bar turn the bolt in a
clockwise direction until the gear comes free of the crankshaft.
