Thought I'd be at this point a couple months ago; and I also thought I knew how to make these come out, but I was wrong on both! :oops:
Anyway, I have both ends bare except the bearing retainers (and the bolts are out). I sprayed both retainer with PBlaster, tapped the front retainer with a punch, turned it (pressed to the bearing, it turns in the block) and tapped it a few times hoping to loosen things a bit, then put a 2X4 in front of the crank and whacked it good a few times.... nothing.
Next step, I'm thinking flywheel puller over the front [I think it will fit the bolts in the front retainer], tighten it up and whack it good. However, before I apply that kind of force, Did I miss a step? Can the cast handle that? Any other tips?
Also, I noticed some random pin head size pitting in a few spots on the crank. It's been quite a few years since I've had to polish up a crank, but IIRC a few times around with a strip of crocus cloth (until there are no "convex" imperfections) and the babbit never knows the difference.
Gettting lots of pictures again, most uploaded to the computer, but still haven't gotten around to uploading any for posting. There's always tomorrow! :wink:
