    GS1000 1978 Flywheel Bolt

    Hi, I am trying to remove the flywheel off my GS1000 1978 Crankshaft, can anyone tell me if its right or left hand thread. My manual says turn it clockwise, but it seems to be getting tighter and I don't want to do damage Thanks Mark

      1978 GS1085.

      Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

              Welcome to GSR, update your signature and profile with your bike(s) and location... it will help in the future.

                  Turn the flywheel puller clockwise to remove flywheel, after removing the bolt that holds it on crankshaft
