The next thing I have to do is remove the bottom end from the frame.
2011.01.09: I removed the lower end from the frame. I had to wheel the bike out of the storage unit first. I had to use a pallet supported on a short 2 by 4 as a ramp. I had a few hard moments whilst removing the motor. Eventually I got 'er done. Next I get to clean the motor before I disassemble it.
2011.01.18: I sprayed degreasing dish washing detergent on the motor, let it set for a bit and hosed the motor down. There was still plenty of oil-hardened dirt on the motor, so I will be scrubbing with a brush and detergent. I removed the circuit breaker, the generator, the gearcase, and cams, and the oil pump. I had a bitch of a time removing the gearcase and oil pump. Didn't break anything. All of the cam shims were wrecked and I will have to replace them. Next stop: remove the primary drive and transmission. I like the way my hands smell after working on the motor.
2011.02.01: I removed the primary cover, pulled the clutch plates, set up clutch basket and drive retainer tools, and could not loosen the clutch hub nut. I will have to take the lower end assembly to somebody with an impact wrench to loosen it.
2011.07.16: I took the motor to a neighbor who loosened the clutch hub nut with his air-powered impact wrench.
2012.04.22 I removed the clutch hub nut, the clutch hub, clutch basket, motor sprocket, primary chain adjuster, and the primary drive chain. This took me long enough to get to this...
