    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.

I know..I'm Lame! :o wanted to install new seals, it's apparently leaking oil by. I could not get it to unscrew at head..thought it should? Clymers says nothing:rolleyes: I then removed bolt & holddown & pryed quite forcefully to get the whole apparatus w/gear out...an 1/8"!:eek: So I gave up. I did already buy "2" seals for it and would like to get her buttoned up.:-s This is a 79' 850G. Prolly just kinda frozen up and being stubborn huh?
 
give it all a good squirt with penetrating fluid and leave to soak for i bit. get a pair of grips on the knurled nut to unscrew the cable.
when pulling out the drive, grab it tightly with something and twist as you pull, it should pop right out
 
Just did mine the other day came out with a little more force then i would have liked.

The section of the part you are pulling out is about half the diameter as the upper section that you can see.(one piece sizes machined to different diameter)

The spindle inside will pull out bottom with fingers.(cannot be pulled out without section you are trying to pry off removed)

Knowing this lets you know that the spindle gears are not jammed and causing removal problems.

I used a very large flat head to remove and turned screwdriver to add leverage.(Best to have one that fits in slot tight to keep from damaging aluminum)

After soaking in penetrating oil you might try putting something under screwdriver to gain more leverage.

The seal on single piece photo is whats probably causing hang up though you might have some oxidation on shaft also.

The other photo is just to let you know what you are dealing with.

Parts are laid out as to direction they come out of shaft in middle.

Hope this may help.
