Message: [QUOTE="Dirtdame, post: 1410958, member: 119586"] Case splitting tool. [IMG]http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii145/dirtdame/bike%20portraits/IMG_0204.jpg[/IMG] I use a twenty ton press and brass hammer to put the cases back together. I put a solid one piece fork seal driver that is longer than the crank spindle over the spindle so that it rests on a strong spot on the case around the main bearing. The other crank spindle has to able to drop through the plate that the other crank half is resting on, on the press bed. I line up the cases, the fork driver and start to press. As I press, I pause and tap the back end of the crankcase where the axle goes through with the brass hammer till all the trans shafts have seated into the places they need to be and the knock pins are almost into the cases as well. By that point, the case halves should press all the way together quite smoothly. :cool: [/QUOTE]
