1952 Royal Enfield Ensign 148cc two stroke

[Bruce F.]

Hello, is there anyone out there who has split the cases on the 148cc Royal Enfield?  Is there a service manual or an article that covers the operation step-by-step?  I have couple of manuals but they do not cover it. 

Thanks, Bruce

Have a little Pearsons book of the Royal Enfield, which has a large chapter on those bikes.
When I locate it, will see if it sheds light on this subject.

Being a 2 stroke, a perfect airtight seal is required of the cases, so they are likely to be well shellaced together, may take some separating. Are you certain all the retaining screws are out ? A rubber mallet is sometimes useful to shock such things loose.
