Removing secondary driven gear and bevel gear

[azr]

I'm having to replace the secondary driven gear and the secondary bevel gear on my 80' 1000G. According to the manual I just have to remove the 4 bolts from each and pull them out. Is that correct? because they sure don't want to come out.

Thanks in advance.

IT'S a VERY VERY tight fit !!! May require the swing arm removed or the motor raised up ??? and a BIG hammer You may need to loosen the bolts for the crank case

Thanks Lynn, I forgot to mention the engine is out of the bike. I guess I'll soak the heck out of them and try again.

Soaked the heck out of them, then tapped them a bit back and forth with a flat head and rubber mallet and they started to cut loose. Man they were tight.

great info....I have a few of these to pull out, one engine strip down, one snapped and one leaking..... is there any preference to which bevel is taken out first? i.e the prop shaft end or the side of the engine.

I don't think it matters but I did take the side one out first.

...... You may need to loosen the bolts for the crank case

This is my understanding too- the bolts (in the drive area) holding crankcase halves together need to be backed off a bit,
