![]() Yes, I did on my 76 HD cart and some old Yamaha motorcycles years age and lately a pressed together Indian chief crank. It is not hard but with any crankshaft job it takes some tools. First it takes a press capable of over 2000 pounds pressure and a lathe to align the flywheels after assembly. Also a large strong vise is advised. I had trouble finding the components. If you find the individual components they must be fitted (rod honed to fit pin and bearings to specs) I finally found a rod, crank pin and bearing that were already rebuilt and fitted properly. I think they found that selling a new or rebuilt crank assembly wes better business because few people had the equipment to rebuild the crank themselves. Anyway that used to be a common task performed by repair shops now they prefer to sell a crank assy.
