coleman crank problems

[tro1217y]

I have a 1981 Coleman Sunvalley and the bearings went out and I have replaced the wiffle tree.  During that time, I believe the crank mechanism has gotten off track.  I have tried to remove the front panel, but the crank keeps me from removing the whole panel and I'm not able to get to the actual crank.  It cranks up and down, but very hard and only from the center crank.  Can anyone tell me how to remove the crank mechanism and the front panel?  Thanks.

Sorry about your cranking problem.  I can't help you with getting the front off, but did you lube the wiffle tree with grease?  It should be packed with grease and the cables and pulleys should be lubed with silicone.  Could a cable be off of the pulley making it hard to crank?  Good luck and welcome to PUT.
