Ok here's the deal., over the past two months I have been rebuilding my entire engine, tranny and all. Just last weekend I split the cases and found no problems with the transmission, but the crank does need to be rebuilt, so here comes my dilemma. When I split the cases the crank stuck on the the left hand side, the flywheel side. It won't move out and I believe it's not supposed to come out easily without a press. Also, when I split the cases the right, main crankshaft bearing stuck on to the crankshaft. To sum things up for you now, my crankshaft is stuck in the left hand case with the right main bearing attached to the crankshaft. Now, when I get the crankshaft rebuilt, I plan on asking the guy to remove the crankshaft from the case, because, like I said, I believe it has to be removed with a press (correct me if I'm wrong). Then when they remove that, he'd also have to remove the right main bearing (if thats possble w/o damaging it) because its stuck on the crankshaft, maybe the left one too if that one sticks as well. Now when I get this crankshaft rebuilt, and have all the bearings seperate, and both the cases seperate as well, am I going to be able to assemble EVERYTHING without the use of a press? Do I have to have someone press on the main bearings to the crankshaft or into each side of the crankcase, or do they just pop in? Do I have to have someone press the crankshaft into one side of the case in order to reassemble the cases?
Sorry for being so long but Thanks
