I have too  Henry, more then once. I think he felt sorry for me crying  in my cheerios and cut me some slack this time.

Plus, now I gave him some good scoop - and he just might change his mind / opinion 

I never said I don't have one.....just don't think they are worth the money

Heck if you want to pizz away $2500,  just send me the money and I will give it to Talon to help rebuild his 124

I knew you always had it

See Henry - told you I gave him good scoop - that and the new style bearing to replace the one that he had fail 

[porthole]

So I rummaged through the tool box and tried this puller to remove my main gear bearing. The bearing was a little difficult, but it did pull right off.

So, are these assembled from the factory with red loctite or something?

If that is the case (funny) then I can see where a little judicious bit of heat would help immensely, either a heat gun or torch.

Just a note as to using heat - if you do not do this on a regular basis you should be extremely careful.

My time as a firefighter (11.5 vol + 17.5 career) I have seen many cars destroyed by guys who knew what they were doing.

Sad to see but these included (separate fires in the garage) 65 fastback mustang - 68 427 vette, couple of jeep projects, 63 vette, 2 Chevelles, etc. Several fires involved more then one car, most were contained to the garage. 1 fire had 7-8 antiques - all destroyed.

The picture below is from a fire we had several years ago. Guy working on his car. Leaves to go get something.

His wife goes out to help him clean up - used gasoline to clean the tools IN THE KITCHEN.

Sometimes you need to lock that door between the house and the garage.

My trans is out awaiting UPS for a replacement case.

I don't have a lift, using a floor jack.
This is how I raised the engine to remove the swing arm.

Just a ratchet strap under the trans to the grab bars.

[porthole]

Just enough to wedge a shim under the engine case.

Something to keep in mind, even with a fairly stable jack like my J&S - don't forget to block up the front tire 

I was using a pile of boards until I remembered I had this jack in the shed. Works good and doesn't slip out as easy as the wood was.

I also tie wrapped the rotor to the fork to help keep the wheel from moving.

Roger,

If I was doing it tomorrow (and I would) I would so it a bit different, same tools, just a different procedure then what the manual lists.

I wonder how many times people have taken thier bike to the dealer for a 6 speed install and were told "oh, by the way, when we took your trans apart we found that the case was cracked - you need a new one"

At least that is what I would expect to hear from a mechanic that replaces my spring tensioners with hydraulics and then says "to make the bike run as least as good as it did before you have to put gear drives in"

And now we all know...

 Exactly!

Now that's funny  But sad

Yeah - but at least Jim's got him on the right track now.
