    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Well got to the pesky starter clutch today on the 79 Cooley. Remember I had posted asking if the rotor used the bolt or bell styled puller in the other thread!! Well I dont know if this is the "norm" for Colleys, but the rotor was set up to accept both style pullers.

So I set the 16 MM fine thread in and grabbed the air impact and a few blat blats and it was off. Got it all deoiled with some carb spray and dried with the air compressor. Used the high strength green loctite on it this time.
 
OHHHH trust me !!! If it was that "swing" there would be pics AND a Youtube video!!! HA HA
 
Ya, you can use the same puller for both. Both styles have the outside threads for the removal tool. On my 1983 GS1100 engine it had a nut on the end of the crank instead of the bolt. I just removed the nut and put the tool on. The screw on the tool just pushes against the crank snout. Same tool worked on my GS1000 engine that had a bolt instead of the nut. The only thing I found was you need to keep the bolt in but unscrewed half way so the tool will seat against the head of the bolt and not down the bolt hole.
 
I pulled the cover ( stator cover ) and saw the crank bolt and the male threads for the bell and thought crap..not what I have. Decided to pull the crank bolt and see if it would play nice and just come off with a few gentle smacks with a rubber mallet. Then i saw it was female threaded for the bolts style also...HAPPY DAYS.
 
Ya, I have the motion pro tool that uses the outside threads. Was happy it worked for both styles.
 
I have a $2.25 black hardened bolt I got at the local fastener supply house when I lived down in Texas.

Told ya it would have both...GS1000 E,L,and S all seem to have both. Can't personally answer for the G's as they're not common here.
