this is the first time ive ever worked on a motor to this level before so please bear with me. thanks
ok....ive got the motor apart....got the crankshaft out...taking it out to be balanced
ive got a bunch of questions...again guys, thank you for helping me.

1) i was hoping to change the bearings i was considering popping them out with a dowel and a hammer (....that's what i did with the clutch shaft...its ok right? :oops:)
2) how do i get the bearings out ...and which way ( to center line of motor? -or push them to the outside?)
3) what about the seals?
4) there seems to be some lateral "wobble" between the rod and the crank...is that ok? should i use new bearings there too?
5) once Im done how do i push the whole blasted thing together again?...i needed a hammer to get it apart!
thanks
-john

Crankshaft bearings get pushed in towards the engine's centerline.
Clutch bearings get pushed out away from the engine's centerline.
