Can I send it back to OS? Anybody here from OS and can give me the South East Asian distributor? Please PM me...
Thanks in advance.
Cheers...

Next, some people use a screw driver, but if you heat it enough, you can take the hot motor out of the vice with a thick rag, and bang it on the bench with the bearing facing downwards (so, bang it as if you were banging on the back plate). This should knock the bearing out and you'll be left with a motor ready to take your new bearing.
Of course, heat up the block in the same fashion to get the new bearing in there too.
I've done this about 3 times to engines in the past and it works everytime. Hope this helps!

At 196F, that motor has not had a chance to move yet. 220F, 230F is OK as long as you see smoke coming out of the pipe while your racing. Also, the manual, for the 3 port, says to use the #6 turbo-plug but it's too hot in Texas for that, So I've been using the HPI #7's and my motor has been performing perfect. So I would think the #7 for a 5 port would be OK. I was in Dubai for awhile. It's just like Texas.

Next, put the motor block in a vice holding the two motor mount tabs on the motor so you don't have to touch it. Next, take a propane torch and heat the area around the outside of the inner bearing all the way around. Make sure to get it good and hot. Heating the case will cause the metal to expand and the bearing to be removable.

Problem is, a propane torch isn't exactly something one would find lying around in a common household.
I'd try with the gas stove instead.

I managed to get the inner bearing out yesterday.
Heated the crankcase over my gas cooking stove up to about 130C then popped the bearing out with a bearing puller. Took just one pop for it to come out.
Thanks for all the help guys...
Now to find a replacement...

I can get SKF or NTN replacement. The question is, should I get with 1-sided metal shield or open bearing?
