One you successfully separated it and replaced the rod, it needs to be pressed back together and the 2 main bearning journals aligned and the con rod side play adjusted. I believe this is a job best left to those with the proper equipment and experience. An error here can be costly. Max at Thumper Acres, home of the 4 stroke single cylinder motorcycle.

Crusher,
all good replies so far.  Press together cranks are just that. Press together and press apart so usually most dealers/shops will have a 20 ton hydraulic press to press out the pin.  Then pressing back together is more tricky than apart.  Once the pin is in and close it needs to be put on a truing stand that has dial indicators to make sure the runout is below the max spec and that both lobes of the crank line up so their center (main crank journal) lines up.  Otherwise it will be disaster upon re-assembly into your engine.

Good luck,

You can save a ton & just get one puller for your shop. An oxy/acetylene torch is well known as the "Universal Puller" , tho it has a reputation for being hard on at least half of the parts separated.

Sorry, just got the worst need to be a smartalleck today.. It's okay if you use a different word, I understand.
