The only specific tool you will probably need if you intend removing & upgrading the crank(and you definitely should) is a mag flange puller. Somebody may be able to borrow you one or seeing as you have workshop facilities, you may have something suitable or be able to make one. Regarding skills, if you own/maintain the nsu prima d in your avatar then you should be ok unraveling the mysteries of the lui engine.....

ladsdad wrote:I don't know if the cranks are different but I'm betting that they probably are, I'm sure someone on here will know for definite, but it would definitely be good practice to get it out because you're going to want to change the crank seals seeing as the're probably best part of 40 years old..... If it was me doing the rebuild I'd have it down to a bare case & replace all the service items like bearings/seals/clutch plates etc, if you don't & take someone's word for it it's only going to end in disappointment & knock the shine off Lambretta ownership. Take some advice off whoever you're buying you're kit from about what they recommend you also upgrade to get the best from your purchase.
Cheers Mark
