Does anyone have a crank and flywheel for a 241?

One clean way to remove a pressed on inner bearing race is to machine it paper thin in one area with a carbide end mill.  At that point it will crack and slide right off.  Careful work with a hand grinder could probably produce a similar result.

Thanks McMan 56. Thats what I did and eventually it came off. I bought a 22 mm speedi sleeve for the crankshaft seal to run on but it was a really tight fit on the crank even thought the measurements were all in tolerance. However, all was ok in the end. A new crank bearing from AG was a standard type ball race and not the roller type that was fitted. I had to make this a slide fit by wet and drying the shaft. In the photo you can just see the sleeve for the seal and the new bearing. Thanks to all for the great advice.

It’s done and back together after quite a long winded saga.
