Removing Clutch Actuator Shaft from Clutch Cover?

[Guest]

I need to have my Clutch Cover bead-blasted and powder coated, and was wondering how one goes about removing the Clutch Actuator Shaft from the case? I've removed the seal already, but am not sure what the safe/preferred method is to get the shaft and bearing out. Would prefer not to have them in there while the "dolling up" is going on, but, being as these pieces are discontinued, would REALLY prefer not to mess them up "learning" how to remove them, most likely the hard way.

I've searched some but wasn't able to find a useful link... Most likely cause I am not using the correct search terms.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Get a drift and hammer, and gently drive the shaft up from the bottom. The bearing at the top will come out with the shaft.

That's what I figured, but wanted to double check before I started "gently" driving anything! Thank YOU!!

if you do damage the bearings you can buy them off the shelf, they are not a dedicated suzuki bearing, also you can buy the seal at the top as well

That's good to know. I have them in my shopping cart at BikeBandit... but if you know the part numbers, I'd rather buy them locally if possible. Like to support the locals whenever possible.

Just out of curiosity, how can you afford THE BANDIT?

You do realize that they are the second-most-expensive online site?

Naivete?? It seems to be the place where I can usually find what I'm looking for, in stock, and it's easy to search their micro-fische system for the exact parts I want. Shipping is reasonable, and when you can order everything from one spot, that factors into the overall cost as well.

I've searched Z1, etc., and they don't seem to have the parts I'm looking for (Case Decals, Oil Sight Window, Clutch Actuator seal), all in one place...

If you have a better option, I'm all ears... because I CAN'T afford to shop the expensive sources... just don't see any other options.

i cannot give you the size for the seal as i have a GS1000 and i am not sure if they are the same as an 850. the size will be on the seal or just measure it,O/D X I/D X thickness. then google it, the GS1000 seal shows up loads of places so the 850 seal should as well.

as for the bearing,find them on ebay. INA-NTN HMK 1512. be carefull when buying the bearing as the 1512 is the inside diameter and the height. you need a 22mm outside diameter, like this one.

scroll down the selection bar until you see the 15x22x12 bearing.

hope this helps.

I've ordered tons of parts from Bike Bandit, and I'm cheap too. They seem to get parts from Suzuki really fast, and ship fast with cheap freight costs. As mentioned, they have lots of aftermarket parts so that saves time with two orders if you just need something like an inner tube or brake pads.

I use GS Suzuki or Boulevard Suzuki when I decide not to get my stuff from Z1.

Thanks, guys... parts on order, including a pair of new case emblems/decals, and a new oil sight glass. Ready to tear the cases down and get them powder coated...
