I have the proper manuals with dimensions for everything, even a block of wood for supporting the piston.
I have scanned the pages so I could upload them if they would be useful to anyone.

Never used one in years of working on MZs. ( I have now got one somewhere that I got given when I bought a ES250/1 outfit form Germany... God knows where it is though)
Remove all the screws.( Are there 13 of them? (it's late and a while since I did it!) knock out the dowel at the front of the crankcase.Then I would play a Paint stripper hot air gun over the main bearing until I got bored and use my favourite tools, a old butter knife ground to a sharp edge and a hammer and tap round the crankcase until the cases parted enough to use a pair of tyre levers to totally remove the generator side case.
With practice I could split a Supa5 engine , replace all the bearings and seals and rebuild it over a weekend ( well it was that or not being able to get to work on Monday!). Follow the book, take it easy and they are a very simple engine to rebuild

no thrill like having your old daily driver everyone makes fun of
be the only bike that makes the weekend ride and not break down
i think the reason the english guys like these old 2 smokers .
is fix it right and do not abuse it and it works good for a long time
it can not be the gas mileage as every 2 smoker i ever had was a gas hog but they were 305cc and up
