bottom end takes special tools, crank pusher outer, flywheel puller, through shaft hex lock removing socket...now there are ways around these tools, but it beats up the parts without the tools and causes undo damage in my opnion...had a shop rebuild my first shortblock rhino motor and after watching them not having the correct parts and how they install and remove cranks I took my motor home and have been building my rhino motors myself since....take your time, Loctite everything!
