Have any of you guys ever removed the rubber mounts that are in the engine case? I want to have my cases powdercoated to match the frame but I am not sure how to get them out without destroying them??

You talking about the rubber pieces on the top of the case where it bolts to the frame by the rear shock and the bottom part of the case? Dave (dajogjejr) had his cases powdercoated he could help ya there i'm sure he'll chime in this thread soon

No problem! Just take a deep well socket the same size as the outer metal portion of the mount. Mark them to get them back into the correct placement, be gentle and hammer them out. I have done alot of them building triple cases.

Yea I tried that tonight and they don't seem to be budging, but I am really worried about busting my cases up. I am gonna give it one more try tomorrow now that I know for sure thats how to get them out. Thanks

I just leave them in on the few cases I have had PC'ed

Wow I just didn't think they would suvive the 400 degrees they bake em at

 

[KaosBanshee44]

Probably won't hurt to spray it with some WD40 let it sit a while then try to hammer em' out. I would have thought the same thing about leaving them in too.

you can cure powder coat with a uv light.... that is how some of the painters do the stock a arms with the non serviceable ball joints

I will ask about that because my brother wants his 450 arms done and they have those non serviceable's in the upper arms.

rather then beating on it with a hammer, you might try and push the socket threw with a vice or a c clamp or something. Something that allows you to tighten it down and shove it out the other side.
