If the crank you are buying doesn't have the bearings fitted then take your time removing the old bearings, you could try putting the crank in the freezer for a good few hours then try to quickly heat up the inner race of the bearing to get it off

I have used one of these in the past.....if I am replacing the old bearings with new. No need for heating/cooling, and the taper of the tool gentle eases the bearing from the crank. Just grease the side touching the crank weights to avoid any damage, but it really doesnt need it.

Oh...and dirko goes everywhere...particularly your fingers, which then get spread everywhere you touch on the engine and it's bastard stuff to remove from the bits you don't want it on. wd-40 is your friend when it comes to wiping it off.
