Two legged puller?Okay, so I got the crank shaft out, but the bearings and oil seals came with it. My splitting tool did not fit right down over the connecting rod like it shuld have and could not hold the bearings in. How do I get the bearings and oil seal off the shaft now?
Husqvarna 254, an old one.

Take it you are replacing bearing. Clamp outside of bearing in a vise and tap out crank using a punch, do not hit ends of crank with a hammer. Use a larger pointed punch that will rest in dimples at crank ends.Okay, so I got the crank shaft out, but the bearings and oil seals came with it.

Yes, genuine Husqvarna one.Two legged puller?
I tried that but it just got pushed out of the vise. Maybe I will try it again.Take it you are replacing bearing. Clamp outside of bearing in a vise and tap out crank using a punch, do not hit ends of crank with a hammer. Use a larger pointed punch that will rest in dimples at crank ends.

This is what I meant by a Two Legged bearing puller. The angle iron attachment was only necessary because the crank was full circle.As to the crank and it's bearings.
The 357 stuffers defeat using a conventional two legged puller as there is no room between the bearing and the stuffer for the 'legs' of my type puller. I'm sure there are special bearing removal tools available, but I didn't have one, and didn't want to over invest or wait.
A piece of 3mm/ 1/8" scrap angle iron got an angle grinder relief rudely cut in to it and voila, bearings removed. I will reduce the width of the adapter before next use as it did deflect a little.

Great idea!This is what I meant by a Two Legged bearing puller. The angle iron attachment was only necessary because the crank was full circle.
Normally the 'hook' on the legs can just grab under the bearing and turning the centre thread just winds the bearing up and off.
I agree, they work great without breaking the bank.Yep, grab the bearing in a vice and tap the crank out. Put the nut on the crank flush so you don’t damage anything. When you come to re-assemble, if you plan on doing saws in the future, consider Matty-o’s crank puller tools. I have used them for more engine rebuilds than I care to remember and they work great.
