  Bolinder 1001 Dismantle

Return To Round 1

Dismantling And Inspecting
Bolinder 1051 Engine No 1001

Discovered In A Barn

ROUND 2

With the fastening bolt 2 turns out.....the puller again failed to move the gear.


21. After failing to remove the gear and bearing with the puller....a little VERY GENTLE!!
pressure brought the CAST plate over the bearing leaving the seal on the shaft. This
is not a recommended idea someone must have a better
Puller PLEASE!
Sketches drawings or pictures most appreciated.

22. After tapping back the locking tabs remove the 8 bolts evenly. 

Top

23. The gear and shaft will now lift away it's quite heavy.

24. 2nd View

25. The timing side cover can now be undone and lifted away. All Bolinder bits are heavier than
they look and generally oily. The hole in the bottom of the casing is for the oil pump
(Removed before taking the photograph)

Top

26. The apparently grossly over engineered camshaft timing gear is I believe used
as a half speed power output shaft in some stationary engine applications.

Top

27. The Output shaft components were parted using a suitable size drift whilst well supported.
This is only necessary if you need to swap the bearing or use the top part as a pattern for
a puller.

Top

28. The output shaft components in order with the oil pump removed form the crankcase behind.

Top

29. Remove the main bearing housing with assistance from a couple of bolts in the
 spare threaded holes, the bolts may not be needed but my bearings had seized.

Top

30. Part of the output shaft doing duty as a puller. Care is required as the cam wheel is cast
and a very tight fit. with the cam wheel partially removed access to the rear allows you to
undo the bearing holder. The crankshaft output shaft will not come away with the cam
wheel in place. Before extracting the cam lift remove and label the cam followers. undo the
large nut a couple of turns mount the shaft as shown and tighten up then remove undo the nut
another turn or two and repeat. Don't let the large nut get down to the last few turns or
you will shear the thread.

31. Visible wear on the main bearing journal on the flywheel end.

Top

32. View of piston still well and truly stuck despite the soaking in diesel and use of heat and cold.
