Default Separating cases
Anyone have a way to separate a set of evo cases without spending a fortune on specialty tools.

When I over hauled a S & S 88 engine I took the case to a friendly machinist mechanic. Large press and heat from a torch.
Maybe you could find one like that near you.

There's no getting the crank out without a press.

unbolt everything, tap it with a rubber mallet and it will slip apart. Crank will stay in left side, this is where the press is needed. No special tools for right side, it is just sealed with a silicone type film (Harley, yamabond) break this bond and it will come apart.

For some general background information, you might want to take a look at the below thread. It's for a twin cam, but I bet there are a number of similarities. Lots of pictures!
