: Insert and tighten down the 
screws (1)
: Turn spindle (2) clockwise until 
the crankshaft stub has been 
forced out of the ball bearing
The starter-side half of the 
crankcase is pulled off by this 
procedure.
– Undo the screws and remove the 
puller
– Replace ball bearings and oil 
seals, b 5.6.1 and b 5.3
Ignition-side half of the 
crankcase 
: Position the crankcase half (1) on 
suitable surfaces so that it is held 
securely and the installed guide 
sleeves (arrows) are not 
damaged
There must be sufficient clearance 
downward so that the crankshaft 
can be pressed out.

: Position a suitable punch (1) on 
the cylinder side crankshaft stub 
and press out crankshaft (2)
Crankshaft, con-rod and the needle 
bearing between them form a 
complete unit which must always be 
replaced as such.
: Examine ignition side (1) and 
starter side (2) halves of case for 
cracks and check all mating 
surfaces (arrows) for damage
If the original crankcase is reused, 
the oil seals and ball bearings must 
be replaced, all gasket residues 
removed and the mating surfaces 
cleaned thoroughly (also in the 
circumferential groove of the 
ignition-side half of the case). The 
mating surfaces must be absolutely 
flawless and clean to guarantee a 
perfect seal.

Installation 
Ignition-side half of the 
crankcase 
Avoid damage to the crankshaft 
stub.
: Orient the crankshaft with the 
conical crankshaft stub (arrow) 
facing the ignition-side ball 
bearing
– Heat only the inner race of the 
ball bearing to approx. 120 °C
(250 °F)
: Press crankshaft stub fully home
The crankshaft must be fitted 
rapidly, as the heat is transmitted to 
the crankshaft stub and the inner 
bearing race contracts.
