Well I dont have any tools for removing the bearings, will the Hudy tool listed at Amain do the job? also this bearing is not leaking outwardly it is only taking in air and killing the idle.at times it is running great then out of nowhere it just jumps the idle way up and nothing I do can change it? then when I was racing it I was getting to this same double and dieing on exit(it was a slow speed double with a 180 deg on exit)
