Looking for a Stihl crankcase splitter for a 1981 045av. Anyone know a good one to buy?

I split crank cases all the time made my own with parts I had works great counter sink collar so bolt head doesn't do damage to crank case make sure to have all 5 6 or 7 crankcase bolts out then I take a punch and tap my pins out on crankcase put my splitter together can use 2 of them then slowly turn nut on bolt I have included pics then I get it split take other half and i put in.cast iron.pan on gas grill about 10 minutes or 300 to 350 degrees and take rubber mallet to tap crank shaft out takes me less than 15 minutes to split case take crank out and bearings the one that stays in case I take a socket same size as bearing and tap out the one on crank I use a two arm pulley puller works great to put back together I heat crankcase half on.bakeing sheet on 350 degrees for thirty minutes and my bearings put in deep freezer for 12 to 24 hours 2 hours in freezer will work bearings fall right it use assembly a little assembly lube on bearings and I heat with hair dryer to get out consaition out of bearings can use w d40 or 2 cycle oil
