Reply To: KA series crank removal

Not sure on this motor, but some have an external set screw to hold the
crank center main bearing in the correct orientation and position.
On some motors the center main is a slight press fit in the crankcase
and require some heating the crankcase to get the crank out.
Crankshafts aren’t designed for much of an axial “pressing”, so
spacer blocks between the crankshaft webs are some times needed.
