Crankshaft Puller/Installer
« on: January 25, 2014, 09:36:42 PM »
I need to pull the crankshaft of my 78 DT250 but need special tool i.e. puller (& installer). I've already split the cases but the c/shaft won't budge from the LHS.
I see that Tusk sell them and they appear to be good quality. My question  are there any other brands available because Tusk seem to be the only one I could find.

be careful with that press the cases will easily distort , put the crankcase half with the crank in into the oven for 10 min and it will fall out of the case with the main bearing .

I had read somewhere recently, advising against using a press, possibly for that reason. I came across a good vid showing these (Tusk) tools in use.

Motorcycle bottom end rebuild part 2 (of 3) crank & bearings

Would still like to know if there are other makers. Haven't been able to find any so far that look like they do the job.
