alrighty, so i am in the process of replacing my secondary gear set on my 82' gs1100...
i have the side cover off, and have already ordered the part, right now i am just taking everything apart and preping for the install.
BUT, i am having some issues with getting the secondary gear out of the bike, to clarify things i have posted an image on what i am trying to remove.
i have the bike sitting on the center stand (wheel in the air) the bike is in neutral and the wheel spins freely. i have saturated the outside of the assembly several times with PB-blaster so it shouldn't be stuck-on THAT hard.
the four bolts have obviously been removed but the assembly wont even move a little... i have tried gently and aggressively prying and pulling on the assembly but the darn thing wont budge....
at this point i don't want to break anything and create another hassle for myself so i am reaching out to you GS veterans for advice.
P.S. - i was told i didn't have to take the swing arm off just to replace the secondary gear assembly, i could leave it on and just wiggle out the old gear, and wiggle in the new... if this is wrong than i guess that may explain my problem... I REALLY don't want to remove the arm though. if there is a way around it i would prefer that.
Thanks in advance!
