I'm putting together an LT80 that was swamped. I have the case split and a con rod bearing on order. A friend at a harley shop is going to split the crankshaft and replace the con rod bearing for me.

I plan on re-assembling the bottom end. Saw the Tusk brand crank installer and it seems to get mixed reviews. Looks like it presses on the wrong spot of the bearing (outer race instead of inner). Do you guys use a tool to re-assemble? Or use the freeze / heat method?

Thanks in advance YO!

I've bought it and used it on the drr but not on a kawisuki. As for review. It will do alot when you get creative.
