I see alot of questions from guys new to ATV's on how to Rebuild your engine,or install a new crank or splitting cases.
I stumbled across these vids that are very helpful.
Some of the methods used in these vids I dont approve of (Specifically, using a hammer for bearing removal, and torches on the engine),Generally the same results can be acheived safer with a press, and I have never had to heat a case above 130 degrees to install bearings.But there are many VERY good tips here. It is a 3 part series,and applies to many standard engine procedures.
Gotta Hand it to Rocky Mountain Atv for posting these vids.

They dont hit all bases of the rebuild.The common sense things they leave out.
But using this video series combined with the proper service manual, you should be able to do this operation if you are mechanically inclined.
In their related vids links they also cover topend replacement as well.
Hope this helps some of you.
