I am trying to save myself the trouble of buying a new motor since the screws that hold the motor onto the bike have broken off inside the crankcase, so I bought a new crankcase from bikeberry and I am trying to get everything swapped over. Is there anything else I need to remove from the motor to get the case apart? I have it split apart now but it wont fully come apart so it has me wondering if I havent removed everything.. REALLY NEED HELP to get this china girl back running..

Are all the keys out? If so, looks ready to open. You will need to knock out the clutch shaft (I use a block of wood) which will drive out either side, then tap the crank (CAREFULLY!) until the bearing slips off the crank and releases the case.
Remember NEVER hit the threaded end of a shaft bare. ALWAYS use something to protect the shaft and threads.
Some cranks are tighter than others so it may take a decent knock to get things moving.
