    I was thinking I did. I have the whole engine apart except for the magneto cover.
    I guess I have to wait for a tool...

    Thanks again Michel!

    All the bearings are standard SKF, just take them to a bearing shop and buy them over the counter. ( auto may have a special bearing?)

    Unless you are quite short I wouldn't bother reusing those original flat handlebars. Get some decent high rise 7/8 inch bars like the Renthal RC High bend. I am 6' 2" and have added 12mm bar risers which makes the cockpit much much better for standing and jumping. I ran the original bars for a couple of seasons and never realized how cramped I was.
