Kohler K301 Balance Gears

I am looking to remove the balance gears in my CC129. My question is regarding how far do I need to tear

down the engine to remove them. I know I have to remove the engine and open up the bottom end. Does the

crankshaft have to come out or can it be done around the crank? Any help is appreciated.

When I did my Kohler K321, all I did was was remove the oil pan; then I took a large chisel and broke the gears(they are just cast). After that they removed easily. Just be sure you get any metal chips out. I used a magnet to get the large ones, then rinsed the block out with diesel.
