    Removal of crankshaft 

    Before removing the crankshaft, have a suitable tray ready so that the pulse-generating wheel is not damaged as a result of excessive contact.

    The engine is secured on the engine support to facilitate assembly work.

    When replacing bearing shells, only use bearing shells with the same color coding.
