Message: [QUOTE="76GMC1500, post: 1203424, member: 73139"] It's easy to install install a crank, no presses are required. With carful heating with a propane torch, everything drops together by gravity. Cases are aligned with dowel pins, they don't go out of alignment. Sometimes a special tool is used to pull the crank into the case, but it's not necessary if you heat properly. Breaking a crank apart and reassembling it is what requires all of the special tools, but Hot Rods cranks come completely assembled and usually come with main bearings as well which is why they are such a good deal.
