Barrboo,
I do not think anyone is ignoring you, it's just that instructions on changing a crank is a bit much for this space, lol.
I will offer a few tips, perhaps someone else will add:
1. Have a large clutter-free, well lit area to work.
2. Take digital photos of everything you remove (for re-assembly record).
3. Get an impact driver, great for removing screws that have been loctite-coated, these are used to hold the case together.
4. You will need some type of crank puller/pusher type of tool. Or have access to a press. You can easily make the tool out of a heavy sleeve, some all-thread and nuts.
5. You will also need a flywheel puller for your particulair flywheel, these run about $8-10.
6. Get a service manual for your scooter - it will detail most every step. Service manuals typically show assembly/disassembly with special factory tools, but you can always improvise, like I do with my crank puller tool (it is for Yamaha/Minarelli btw).
This is just a start, like I said, a crank swap is a big item for this space.

Aloha, if you are talking about the main bearings then it is a lot for this space and has been covered before. (Do a search) But your statement above suggests replacing the connecting rod bearing and lining up the bearings. this is much more difficult/impossible to do without alignment jig and experience and you should take the crank to your local shop. frank
