Here's how I supported the engine.

3x3, .125" steel square tube on top of a couple of folded towels.

There is a chain around the tube with two 1100#-rated caribeners hooked to the rear lift-hoop. The nylon strap is a secondary safety.

This worked fine. I'll use it again:

Here's the cam lock in place. Sorry, it's not a great picture. I forgot the crankshaft lock picture.

IMS puller on the factory bearing.

I thought I took more pictures, but I guess not.

Here's the new bearing in place.


The new clutch arrives tomorrow. The plan is to drive it away in the afternoon.

Stand by.

Very informative...thanks for the posts (and welcome aboard!). Good idea with that 3x3 steel piece for supporting the engine, BTW.
