If all your bearings are good, it's only about $75 to have it trued and welded. The seals you put in yourself when you assemble the motor.

I think I fucked up and I didn't take the bolt out to the drive gear on the crank . How do i take that off with the crank out ?

You can run an extension through both rods and hit that nut with an impact.

I don't know what this is supposed to accomplish, but it can't be good for the rods.

 

Set the crank on the bench, grab it like a man, and buzz the nut off with an impact wrench.

I obviously don't have a clue on how to work on these motors. If you just hit the impact in short bursts it won't put nearly as much stress on the rods as actually running the motor. But whatever.

why a hammer and 3/8 extension works fine

Yeow! I made my own wristpin puller. If you make one, be sure to make the round end small enough to clear the circlip.
