Broke my secondary gear end...HELP
I had a leak inside my big rubber boot so I took every thing out and tried to remove the nut attached to the end of my secondary gear and it just snapped off. I found a whole new gear and housing but my bevel gear housing end won't clear the frame. Can I remove the engine mount bolts and prop everything up so it will slide out?, I'm not missing much to clear the frame. I don't wanna take the whole engine out. -
Check this out before you order another gear. The two are matched and shimmed to mesh well together and if you introduce another you will need to shim accordingly to mesh.

Here's a similar thread about getting the gear out on a "G". Post #14.Last edited by AMK; 06-10-2017, 06:57 PM.Alan

If it's my last option I'll do it. Had to retap 4 of my 8 exaust engine mounts so I have the tools now. Lol. Bought an old bike to save money.....surprise I didn't. Haha

You'll definately save money in fuel.
I bought my second bike when my secondary gear stud broke to ride while I fixed it.
Now hopefully when one is down Ill have the other.
I'm still ahead monetarily over a new bike but I don't count the hours in wrenchingAlan
