Bearing puller

I installed the crank shaft after a bit of swapping and changing some washers to get the configuration right, I used the inner race of an old bearing against the new bearing, a couple of small washers to clear the Cush drive, a big washer on each end of the piece of pipe, a smaller washer for the nut to turn against. Same size bolt with two nuts welded together and presto the crank is home an spinning freely against the repaired rotary pad, courtesy of Hotrod Al in the US. I'm almost at a stand still while I wait for the gears and clutch arm. The small frame engine will keep me busy. The scooter is a 1978 Spanish built 75cc Motovespa. Not sure how many of these are about here in Australia.
