Title: Re: PLEASE HELP, I NEED A RIGHT SIDE CRANKSHAFT!!!
Post by: 88LT500 on November 24, 2017, 03:15:47 pm
Thanks Rainman, only the left side is still available.  I found some used ones on ebay for $200 - $400.  A little more than I want to spend and that money would be better used elsewhere on the machine.  I was thinking about rethreading the shaft to the next size smaller metric left hand thread,  or because the top three threads are still good, I could use some washers to build up the area that is stripped and then use a nut on the remaining good threads.  I know it seems hokey, but trying to save a little money.  just a thought, but ill probably end up buying a used one.

Pretty sure crank halves are still available right from Suzuki but not sure if it's just one side or both.Someone on here purchased one maybe a year ago if I remember correctly...If you search it on here you may be able to find the post.

I was splitting the cases on my 88 LT500 and the nut for the crankshaft has red threadlocker on it.  I heated it up and put the impact to it.  It totally stripped the threads on the RH crankshaft.  I need a replacement, hopefully not too expensive.  Can anybody help me out??  Or have suggestions?  Thanks in advance for the help.  Happy Thanksgiving
