removing crankshaft

[fearnofish06860]

ok, anyone thats pulled out there crankshaft before, when the cases are split, and the crank is all thats left, what did you use to push the crank out, theres a special tool for it, but im almost positive it will be pretty expensive, any tips?

I just tapped mine with a deadblow hammer and SHAZAM!

I used a rubber mallet, just tapped the end . I hope you HAD to take all the guts out, because you can replace the crank with the tranny still in the left case!

I just wiggled mine a little bit and it came out w/o any tapping required.

yea you half to be care full when taking a crank out if you hit the thing wrong the crank ends will not be anygood. if you plan on working on a lot of bike like i do i bought the case splitter tool and do it the right way it was about 150 for the hole kit but you just a one time deal just use a rubber mallet or a plastic hammer
