yea its pretty easy if you have the manual. The crank driven gear bolt is reverse thread so you have to watch that.I made my own crank puller. Transmission is the hardest part if you take it apart. Just because their a lot of piece to it.But i dont use a case spliter, I use a soft blow snap on hammer.If you tap the case in the right part they will split.But never hammer on the crank to get it out. But why do you need to split your cases.
