[QUOTE="sm7482, post: 1327021, member: 84044"] Told you to whatch out for that, now i dunno about the 87 year but the 84 year the impeller was part of the nut. meaning the whole impeller tightens down on the shaft. the impeller for our bike had a nut welded to it, we didnt know this until a while afterwards when we were so frustrated trying to hold the impeller and turn the nut. If this is the case with you then you have to spin the whole impeller off, not just the welded nut on the impeller, that is if 87 doesnt use the modern plastic impellers. i dount remember if it was left losen or right losen. if the impeller spins clockwise try turning the impeller to the right, if it loosens then its lefty tighty righty loosey. as for corosion try any corosion cleaner, watch out for a few things though such as chemicals that will eat the aluminum. a buddy of mine put sume corosion cleaner on the right hand case and the case started smoking. also watch out for any pin holes that may cause leaking after the corrosion is cleaned out. if theres any spots were its coroded through or really worn down leaving small pin holes it is possible the corosion has kept them sealed off but once cleaned it may leave open holes. as for the white powdery stuff, once the engines back together try purchasing some of that radiater cleaner. what you do is pour it in the radiators and run your bike for a few minuts while the flush circulates through the engine clearing out all the junk you couldn't reach. once the time is up drain it out and refill with the antifreez. make sure you buy the stuff mad for motorcycles. Really watch out for pin holes, now that we know theres corosion you cant help but stress that. Good luck! get some pictures going, id like to see your progress! [/QUOTE]
