Start by removing all other parts from the crankcase assembly. Then set the assembly on its back on a drill press. Put a piece of 1/4" plywood under it to protect the metal. Then use the drill press to press down on the end of the crankshaft. You should be able to press the crankshaft right out. If its stubborn and hard to move heat the crankcase with a heat gun. If you don't have a drill press you can do this horizontally in a vise if you can get the jaws open far enough.
Hopefully the bearings will come out with the shaft. If not you will need to get a bearing puller.
You probably won't need to replace the bearings. Rotate them with your hand. If they are free and have no rough spots they are probably good

Status: offline 		Take a old prop and drill it to fit the engine, Drill out the center of the prop for the deep well socket. Mount it to the engine and use it to hold the prop hub and remove the prop hub bolt.

You can use the prop washer to remove the prop hub, Put a spacer between it and the front of the crank and tighten the 4 screws a little at a time and it will take off the prop hub, Just make sure not to bottom out the screws in the prop hub, one thing that makes the DLE prop hub hard to get off is it is not a taper fit and has a lot of some kind of lock tite on it.

Also if you have a prop jig that has the center taped for threads you can use it to remove the prop hub.

Status: offline 		You would need a extra deep well socket to fit the hext nut down in there deep. I don't know off hand what socket size is needed though.
Now you could fabricate one if you have access to a welder. You first figure out what socket size you need with a deep well socket. Then you weld on a short steel pipe to the socket and then another socket welded into the pipe end so you can use a wrench on it.

Here in the USA I used to look for a Snap On Tools or Mac's Tools  dealer (they used to have mobile tool trucks go around and visit all the repair shops around town). Then order and or buy the special tool I needed from them. But I haven't seen a Snap On or MAc's tools truck van in a long time now.  SUNEX for example makes a 1/2 inch impact driver extra deep well socket set, but it is a bit pricey, if you only need one socket out of the set.  So fabricating one using the socket you can get more easily is probably the way to go.

Status: offline 		Ok, you need something to lock or hold the prop hub adapter with then. Maybe a chain wrench would do it for you.
If you don't mind getting marks on the prop hub you could use a large vice grip or pipe wrench maybe too.
Some guys lock the crankshaft from the other side and then they can loosen the nut, but I tend to be reluctant to do that unless it is the only way. Some others use a piston locking tool inserted through the spark plug hole, but that has the risk of damaging the piston though.



The chain wrench Vice grips are pretty good for this too.
