Anything special need to be done when installing new bearings and a new crank on a D318? I've never done it before, so I wonder if there any tips you can offer on making the installation go smoother / correctly.

Thanks.

Pretty straight forward job.
Be sure to use some assembly lube in the process.
Put a piece of plastic tubing or tape the rod bolt threads so you don't risk nicking the crank on assembly.

Thanks Old Magnet. Good advice on the bolt threads. I wouldn't have thought of that.
