I will probably take it into my local engineering shop at the same time I have the cylinder bored
and ask them to have a go! :D

A gilera dealer here in the UK suggested (as this is what he has done in the past) that
I put a Philips screwdriver in the hole and wiggle it around!! :roll: :roll: Cant see how
that will work at all :?

Hi Lonerider,
Bite the bullet and make your own puller, I don't attempt to find as there are no dealers here for about 200Km, I've made all the tools I've use for my Gilera, Morini and Honda.
Good luck
John

Well I have been able to fit new bearings in one half of the cases.

Picked up these also....

Took a bit of a risk as they came from the US and off a bike with
allegedly only 350 miles from new. :lol: :roll:

Just as described :wink: :D

It is hard to source Gilera Extra parts here in the UK, but Ebay in the
US has no end of parts for vintage/classic Gileras, sold over there as
Sears.

They seem to have a better supply even than Italy!

Dose any one know of any Gilera Extra owners in the UK or clubs that cater
to this type of bike??? :|

Hi LoneRider,
As you said the forks look good, though it looks like all this work on the Gilera is allowing the grass to grow between the paving slabs??
It is a bit of a gamble buying unseen but having bought 2 bikes and quite a lot of s/h and new parts from the UK and USA, touch I've not been ripped off "yet" and most of the people I have dealt with have been excellent.

Hi Lonerider,
In the short time in the Uk I was not able to find a crate for the RC600 so it's store until April/May next year, it was a barn find and looks pretty scruffy but with pressure wash would clean up well, I also bought a spare engine with carbs, ignition coils, plus some body panels.
Regards
John

At last I have found a puller for the dynamo armature.

Once the thread size had been identified 18x1.5, I had a look on ebay and found a Yamaha
flywheel tool with the same threads. :D

Thanks! :wink:

I bought it and it arrived today! :D

It fits the armature but, the centre bolt is too short to reach the depth
of the crank. I'll put a spacer between the bolt and crank to take up any
play. I will have a go at removing the armature tomorrow.
