Sometimes, it pays to have multiple motorized problems...
I was recently collecting bits and bobs in order to experiment with clutch tuning on my JC Penny Pinto moped. The engine was supplied by Steyr-Daimler Puch, and the engine code is E50. If you see a Puch moped, odds are good that it has that motor. One of the bits I purchased was this:
It's designed to pull the clutch off of an E50 crank, but I've found that it works perfectly for pulling the fly-side case half off of a Spree too. Took the busted half off of FailSpree's original motor with no fuss today. The tool is $12.50 plus shipping, but it's good know you can use it on more than one engine! I took pictures, which I'll upload later.
As promised, the tool in action. Cameraphone pics, but they work OK.

It works! The E50 clutch tool made short work of cracking FailSpree's cases.

The Spree crank in comparison to a Smallframe Vespa crank. The Vespa piston is a 47mm from a 90cc motor, but the crank web and shafts are the same on the Vespa 50s. Amazing how Honda does so much with so little!

Yeah, I saw d3m0nk1d's how-to on that. Didn't have a steering-wheel puller or old variator rollers lying around, but I did have this tool. Figured I'd throw it out there for anyone who didn't have a steering wheel puller but did have moped friends with Puchs.
