I purchased an R/C chassis for parts, attached was an Axial motor (number on bottom of engine is 8G07793A, if anyone can decipher what this engine is for me). The engine was totally seized, so I decided nothing to loose, I will take it apart. It was all gummed up. Lubed it, got it moving, stripped it down.
This is my first total strip down, pulled the crank out, exposed the back of the crank bearing. There are 14 small balls in the bearing, but they are not evenly spaced. I can see what looks like some type of bearing spacer behind the balls, but is not keeping the bearings spaced. Is this normal, or is the bearing bad? If it is bad, how do I get it out?
When I slide the shaft back in and rotate it slowly, the movement feels a bit clunky, is this normal at low speed?
Thank you.
