Removal of gs850g driveshaft seal.

[Moarpower]

Hey guys, I have a 1980 gs850g with the drive shaft seal leak on the engine side. I am at a point where I've removed the rear wheel, the shaft, and everything else, but I just can't get to the seal because the secondary gear assembly is locked in place. I've removed the 4 bolts but she is seized good. Also tried removing the the shaft nut with a rattle gun and that didn't work either.

Are you attempting to remove the secondary drive housing to replace the O ring? If yes, you can loosen the crankcase bolts directly below that housing. Just crack them off, no need to fully remove them. That will relieve the tension of the upper an lower cases on the secondary drive housing and "should" allow you to pop that housing out.
