I need to split the crankcase soon any advice on doing this?

(1/4) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Having checked my primary drive chain for wear it is definitely in need of replacement so I need to know what is the best brand for a replacement likewise with an endless camchain plus the cam chain tensioner parts?

Is it prudent to remove the pistons from the con rods (if I can) before I take off the clutch, alternator stuff etc.

Bryanj:
Primary chain same as 500 and elswhere is discussion on Kawasaki chain that is same but lots cheaper, dont forget damper rubbers in primary.
Camchain and tensioner bits probably Dave Silver, there is also posted on here a repair kit in stainless if the tensioner pinch bolt is fubar.
To lift the crank out the pistons need to come off

I have found this link from a previous post.

On the DS site the primary drive rubber is priced at £5.70 but I am assuming that there are 8 needed in total as DS does not seem to indicate you need more than one!

Bryanj:
23114-323-000 same as 500 and yes 8. Listed at €4each on cmsn. Worth checking your local dealer

Sorry to ask what is obvious to many here but what's the best way to remove the circlips that hold the gudgeon pins in place they are well dinky sized?
