Dismantleing a bike.

[Smokescreen]

I making attempt to strap this 125cc-ish auger engine on to this old bike of mine. It's kinda a tight fit, so before I mount it on, i want to take the pedals and the whole bearing asembly out of there as well. I took the nut off, but that did me no good, and can't seem to get the thing to budge. I don't really want to hack it off, any suggestions?

Are you talking about the crank?

You need to take the pedals off and push it through the crank space, should fit.

if you wanna get the pedals off fast and its a pretty old bike, take it off a six foot drop, they fly off instantly......trust me

Behind the nut there's sometimes a flat disc with a groove either side that you need to unscrew. A hammer and a flat-bladed screwdriver should do it for you, just be gentle with it.

Yeah depends on who's crank what tools to unscrew and pull
But if you dont' care too much about it then follow pimento's guide, you may find you need to drift it out with a hammer.
If you DO care then do it more gently ( workes for me and friends ).
If unable to do that then it's £20 for the tools

I would also look at the gearing and tire size, especially if its a single speed bike. If its off it may not have the torque to even push you forward. Or it may just rev in place.

Do you have anything for clutch setup. Your best (easiest) option would be a centrifugal clutch since you wont have any cables to route/mess with/ control. But I would think it would already have that installed, I really dont know since i know little about augers.

Are you trying to put the crank through where the peddles go?
