    1982 GS1100G Tach Gear Seal Holder Removal

    Can anyone tell me how to remove the tach seal holder from the head? It will turn but not pull out. I removed the screw and retainer tab. Screenshot_20221109-191022_Gallery.jpg

    Pull harder. I’ve had to use a channel lock pliers with a soft cloth in the teeth so as not to gouge the soft aluminum. Twist back and forth and pull straight forward. A little PB blaster could help. Try not to pry with a flathead screwdriver, but if you do, at least wrap the tip in duct tape first.

      I will try your suggestions. It must be held pretty good by the oring. I can pull it out a little bit it creeps back in.

        I got it out, it took alot of pulling with channel locks and a few doses of pb blaster.

            Replaced the leaky driver seals, torqued the head, replaced 2 valve shims on tight intake valves. Got it plated, ready to ride!

              I struggled with one of those for like 3 days, except the threaded collar was broken off from the stem in the head. I had ordered a new gear and holder and even then, that thing was a complete b*stard what with having almost nothing to grip and being in an awkward place. So yeah, I feel ya.

                I think it came down to twisting out to follow the slight twist of the gear teeth on the shaft. No leaks now. Off subject but I didnt know I have self cancelling turn signals until I was just browsing thru the service manual.
