To make a long story short, the ram on my press blew a seal and the parts will not be here for a few weeks. I have the cases split to the point of pressing the crank out of the left case, but without a press it's going to be a little hard. Does anyone know of a different way of removing the crank besides using a press?

set a hardwood block on the floor/ground,turn the crankcase over so the side You need pressed out is pointing downwards,now with a kind of a drop/slam motion force the end of the crankshaft into the block of wood,repeat as many times as needed,within several slams You should be able to tell there is more clearance between the bearings.Ear Tag no. 00030
