    Crankcase pry points?

    Are there any on a '81 GS850GLX? So, everything that's supposed to come off the motor is off - clutch, head, block, etc. The last few steps are remove the top crankcase bolts, oil pan and bottom crankcase bolts...all done. The bottom half of the crankcase should lift off after a few taps on the sides of the lower case with a dead blow. Yeah, but it's not happening. There's not even a hint of movement. It's stuck on there real good. I've taken apart a bunch of old bikes and was always able to get the cases split with some gentle prodding but not this one.

    Did you remove the clutch and all the various parts behind such as the drive shaft plate?

      I swore up and down ten times over that there's no possible way that I missed a crankcase bolt. Not me, I'd never miss a bolt. Guess what? I missed a bolt. It's under a long engine mounting bolt. I never saw it cuz the motor was on my engine stand and supported by the engine mounting bolt...which hid the culprit. Everything came apart in my hands as soon as I unfastened it.
