Cleaning One-way bearings

[rushbasher]

hey all,
i noticed that there is alot of posts about how to get to and clean one way bearings, so i am writing this tutorial.

Step one:
take your engine out of the truck, then undo the 4 screws that hold the roto/pullstart mechanism on.

step two:
pull off the rotostart/pullstart[make sure to hold the pullstart on the back so the spring doesnt fly out].
you should see:


step three:
pull the bearing off and wrap it in toilet paper so you dont lose it,
then wipe the starter shaft with toilet paper,
take the one way bearing and put it into a small jar of meths/brake cleaner
and let it sit for an hour, after the hour take it out and wrap it and get the excess meths/brake cleaner off it.

step four:
after all this is completed, put the one way bearing back on the starter shaft and your good to go, just screw the roto/pullstarter back on and re-fit the engine in your truck/car
