Everybody has their breaking points...I agree, McCulloch's are fun saws to work on. So far my most challenging one has been a Reed-Prentice (Craftsman) 1200B...I finally have it all apart, giving it a good clean, repairing any damage and going to have to make some new parts!
That is pretty much how you can do it, not sure if you need to put it in the freezer, they should hold in place with the grease. Yeah, that was a big surprise when I pulled my first McCulloch crank rod apart...
I don't know if they're "cracked" or not either , but I marked everything with a white paint pen .That is pretty much how you can do it, not sure if you need to put it in the freezer, they should hold in place with the grease.

I am not sure if the Homelite crank rods are in a similar situation like the McCulloch crank rods, where the two halves only go back together one way as they are hydraulically split and not cut so the two sides are not identically flat or even.
I would have thought about doing that after I took it apart...lol
Been there too many times .
