1. Remove the coupling shim pack. Remove the coupling hub. (In order to remove<br />

the coupling hub it may be necessary to heat it. Use insulated gloves to protect<br />

hands.) If the coupling hub is not removed, the drive end cover cannot be<br />

removed and will need to be lifted out with the crankshaft.<br />

2. Remove the top cover, spacer bars and drive end cover (if the coupling hub has<br />

been removed). Tip: If the spacer bar bolts are difficult to remove, use a 12 point<br />

hammer wrench.<br />

3. Be careful not to damage the sharp corners on each end of the top of the crankcase.<br />

These corners form the junction between the end covers, top cover, and<br />

base; thus they must be kept sharp and unmarred to prevent oil leaks.<br />

4. Detach the connecting rods. (See “Connecting Rod - Removal” on page 5-2.)<br />

Move the rods to their full outer position.<br />

5. Remove the capscrews on the chain adjustment cap. Turn the cap to loosen the<br />

chain. Slip the chain off the crankshaft sprocket.<br />

6. Remove the capscrews from the bearing caps. Pull the caps straight up to prevent<br />

damage to the dowel fit. If the cap is tight, use a Bearing Cap Puller as illustrated<br />

in Figure 5-5:<br />
