Hello,

Rebuilding my Ryobi Lawn hornet, M/N RLH1100 MKII, S/N 909028224 purchased new a long time ago.

I want to replace the crankshaft bearings that I purchased sometime ago and would like to know how to remove the crankshaft from the housing, I have tried using my motorbike lift I made using a bottle jack as a simple press, but wasn't game to use excessive force in case I end up bending the output shaft.

Any suggestions.

Question can you upload photos instead of providing a link?

regards Andrew

Decided to apply a bit more force with my motorbike lift as a press and the shaft popped out
