I followed like it says in the manual to heat the area around where the bearings are then tap the crankshaft with a hammer, but it doesn't come out. I can't heat the bearings directly, because I cant get to them, any ideas?

It's an RS125 btw Smile

How long did you heat it for and what did you use ? Because by the sounds of it you aint heated it up enough.

I had it on there for a few minutes of direct heat on the shaft, and tried blowing heat over the casing around the bearings are another time for a few minutes. It was so hot I couldn't touch he casings for more than a second or two, even on the other side of the engine. It's a propane brazing torch btw...
