just some advice about ebay. if you use the resove a problem option and raise a dispute. paypal will hold his money and it will make life difficult for him, if you do this you will get some movment on the matter quite soon i would think. i am am ebay seller (not a dodgy one lol). i have had this happen once and the only option for the seller is the treat the buyer well.

I think I can make my own crankshaft installer...basically the same design as the Tusk unit, but made with items I already have in the garage.
I'll be using the steel crush tube from the center of an ATV axle carrier, an 3/16" thick washer of unknown origin, short piece of metric all-thread, metric threaded coupler, and a nut to fit the all-thread.
Should be able to thread the coupler onto the KX60 crank, install the all-thread into the coupler, place the crush tube over the all-thread and against the case, install the uber-thick washer over all-thread and against the crush tube, and install the nut onto the all-thread and against the washer. Will have to grind a couple of wrench flats into the top of the all-thread to keep the whole assembly from turning, but otherwise should pull the crankshaft into the cases just fine.

Still trying to work something out with the eBay seller regarding his shoddy packaging job and the resulting engine case damage...playing the waiting game and haven't heard back from the seller or eBay since last Friday. Still haven't got my original engine rebuilt either...trying to keep the wife happy by remodeling the bedroom.
In spite of those two issues, I managed to move forward with the bike...a few hours Saturday and more than a few last night produced a running motorcycle. My son seems stoked and I'm glad to cross it off my to-do list.
A quick morning run around our property left me and the bike covered in dew and grass clippings, but it sure was fun.
