Well, a couple things: I probably will go ahead and take off the clutch basket and drive sprocket; just out of curiosity, and heck, I'm in there already...it's kind of like the technique my dentist uses... The scraper is easy enough to make; take a wire coat hanger and cut it to the length you want,...

BTW, you'll probably need to dig up a manual first; I understand Bill Silver's manual, for sale on this site, is a great reference, although I don't have one myself; I'm using a different one, a repro factory version with really dark pictures...but I've heard Silver's is a great one...

Splitting the Cases

Thanks for the replies, guys - Donzie, yes, I saw those; those are off; I'll try tapping on those two bolts... Rusty - I like the army knife trick; I have one, and I'll try it. "I hope you are not thinking you can unbolt the rod bolts once exposing the crank. These cranks are pressed together and ap...

Splitting The Cases ??

So I'm trying to split the cases in my efforts to remove some stuck pistons in my 1964 CA77; my reasoning here is that I can take apart the connecting rods and lift the pistons and cylinder head free of the crankshaft, and then use Whatever Means Necessary to push, press, pound or otherwise free the...
