Greg, got a picture of penny in the gear trick?

Ya know, I never thought that view would be of any particular interest to anyone...hmmm, have to remember that on the reverse side....

I have done it, but this last time I grabbed a piece of scrap aluminum that was handy. It actually mashed up so nicely that it was hard to get back out. But it worked Tongue

You can use any soft metal...I've used some brass shim stock that I folded up a couple times for extra thickness. I did try a piece of wood once, and found the gears are much much harder...not a good choice

Was it done with the older 68 to 36 gear ratio or this one at 67 to 37?

Bevel gears are used to transmit motion to different axis orientation, most common 90°. Helical gear axis are parallel. The intent is to have continuous contact between the two gears to reduce impact stress.

My arms must have been too short Tongue

Yes, you're very right. The bevel gears would be on the speedo drive.

I'll just call them those "angled toothy things" from now on...unless they are straight cut, of course.

How's that for a guess? It just happened to dawn on me about the primary gear changes. The 4 speed would have a smaller primary drive and larger primary driven...as long as the clutch basket stayed the same size (I guess it did), there might be more clearance.

I'll still check it again anyway.

undo the nut as described (lefty) pull the gear as far of the splines as you can, gear will now be at an angle rock the clutch easing the gear out at the same time,

like i said its fiddly and doesn't always come straight off but with patience it will, greg I'm sure with your knowledge you'll be slipping it off in seconds once you have the feal.

Re: Cam chain replacing instructions, Reply #37 - 08/20/07 at 00:30:30 Poking a penny in works I know, but the idea just bugs me a bit, so , since there was an old belt handy, it got folded & jammed in the gears. It cut it some, then bound up & the nut came loose.

And you need the correct socket... And the hardest part was holding the torque wrench steady at 80 lb/ft while operating the shutter release...

Re: Cam chain replacing instructions, Reply #42 - 09/20/07 at 14:58:16 Yoni, I believe the idea is to use something that cant mar the gear face. Thats why I went with the leather. I KNOW in my head copper & aluminum cant hurt the gear, but if I can make it work without anything hard enough to put a lump on my head going in between gears, I will do it that way.

I got my new chain a few days ago and put it in a bath of oil until I could get to it. As I read this I'm thinking holy crap I have no idea what some of this stuff is. How hard is this really? I'm pretty handy but why do you need a torque wrench for the removal? Obviously this looks easier than it is? Also, many of the step by step pics are missing from the posts. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
