This was fascinating. I don't know anything about fixing motorcycles. I was told that I need to replace the countershaft on my Versys 650 (worn splines) and it would require "splitting the case." It's going to be expensive!

Throw a little heat on the crank bearing and the case will slide off pretty easy. Sometimes the bearing will come off on the crank and you have to use some heat or a puller to get it off. All this is getting replaced anyway regardless because now it the time to do it while the cases are open.

Thanks for the video. Too valuable to be for free. What brand puller is that?

[@Cyclepedia]

If I remember correctly the puller is an old Motion Pro. Its been a good one, many cases split and a few cranks pushed out too.
