OK. The motor (Fox 35 stunt) is getting torn down ready to get all the
25 year old gunk off and out in preparation for flight.But for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the con-rod off! I've got the liner out, no problem (and yes, I remembered to mark it so I'll put it back the right way), but there's just not enough room there to get the end of the con-rod slid off of the crank pin! This is _not_ going as smoothly as my OS Max teardowns!
Any guidance? Is there some special trick to doing this with a Fox 35 that one doesn't need to worry about with an OS? I hesitate to 'just pull hard' unless that's really the way to go -- I have visions of badly scoring the con-rod at best, bending it at worst.
Maybe I'll just swish it around in isopropyl to get the worst of the crud off and call it good...
