You need to replace the whole crank assembly. The crank assembly in our personal watercraft are all pressed together. Unlike a car where they have connecting rod caps that can be removed. Click here and you can see a diagram on how it is assembled.

Did you have a failure? bent rod...ect...?

I don't know for certain about the GPR but any other 2-stroke crank I've ever dealt with could be repaired. I had both rods changed in my bike and had dozens of customers snowmobile cranks rebuilt. I would assume the GPR crank is the same but I do realize they are fragile so maybe they are disposable..

They can be rebuilt. Often the cost gets high enough to just go ahead and buy new.

"they are disposable"

I agree with Jay.To do a complete tear down,new bearings,T&W,re-assemble,its almost as much as buying a new one,when you get into the rods,now your getting alot deeper.Whoever does your crank,get it Trued and Welded.

ditto....after all the work, it's close to the price of a new crank. Send it to RAD.

difficult if you don't have the proper/right tools. Send it to a a crank specialist. Like RAD
