1. Heat the crankcase halves to approx. 150°C using a
hot air gun and position the bearings. See figure 8.
2. Press the bearing into the crank case. Make sure
they go right down into the bearing seats. Also make
sure to only press the outer ring.
3. Fit the crankshaft to the clutch side of the crankcase
half.
4. Put the crankcase gasket in place and make sure
that both guide pins are in position. See figure 9.
5. Slide the crankcase half of the flywheel side in place
over the crankshaft.
6. Tighten the 5 crankcase screws crosswise (1-5).
See figure 10.
7. Make sure that the crank shaft can rotate easily after
it has been rotated several turns. Also ensure that it
has axial play (See fig. 11). If not disassemble and
reassemble again.
