Geeezzz....someone really mashed the crap out of those gears some how. That is a shame for sure.
You will need to split the cases to get the main shaft out, but, the good news is, you do not have to pull the head or the jugs to do it. There are bolts you need to pull form the top and the bottom (after the oil pan is off, which you already did) to pull the bottom case off. Also, you can inspect your crank bearings while your there.
Your going to want to find the bolt to pull that rotor off to. Its a special tool or a certain custom bolt I believe and bit of a PITA.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Yes Dg
I hate to say it DG but..... this project has become a bigpita! The bike had an old license plate on it when I bought it. This bike had only been on the road for 4 years. But it must have been 4 hard years on the tranny. Can this split be done with it upside down like it is now or what?At this time:

Brcree,
You will want it back on the wheels to pull the engine out IMHO. Although you will be putting the engine back over on the head and valve cover eventually to pull the bottom case off. Unless someone has tried it and knows how to get it out upside down, but that sounds like an accident just waiting to happen to me. I guess the more I think on it, it might work out to pull it upside down. just never done it so not sure how you would strap it and support it. I will say that a furniture doly works REALLY well for rolling it around in the garage after it is out!! (Thank you Mr. Dbeardslee!!)
I was really hoping it was total overkill to send you both shafts of gears and the shift forks and drum. But you might find it is ALL worth swapping while your in there and have it that far apart.Last edited by DGXSER; 09-30-2010, 07:39 PM.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Just all the normal gaskets used in the dremel fix, and some yamabond or similar for sealing the cases back together. And perhaps something for the breather cap as it has to come off to get the bolts underneath it.1980 XS850SG - Sold
