I am trying to remove the crank from an A65 with middling luck. It appears that the crank bushing has bound up on the crank. The usual 3 jaw tool for Nortons and Triumphs ...the jaws will not between the gear and bushing without really thinning them which will also weaken them. The crank will not turn or go right or left. It will not budge even if I were to take off the gear. Would it be advisable to heat the case to approx 250 degrees and drive out the bushing and crank together? I will still have to thin out the jaws but it seems I can get another set for $23.
Also...I removed the left case and found a thin sheet metal cup washer between the crank bearing and the crank. I see no use for this but does anyone know why it is there? The roller bearing appears to be the original.
