Next issue: We're at the point of removing the crankshaft for surfacing. Problem is the service manual merely says remove the camshaft sprocket and timing chain. unless we're missing something, the crankshaft sprocket must also come off, sliding both off at the same time, as the chain is too stiff to remove one sprocket at a time. It is not apparent how to remove the crank sprocket; it almost appears cast with the crank.Can anyone enlighten us on getting the crank out? TIA, gary
