Message: [QUOTE="DEANSFASTWAY, post: 397172, member: 31309"] Get the right puller vanessa thyre cheap and are available aftermarket from motion pro or through Dennis Kirk or JC whitney parts unlimited tucker rocky etc That same puller fits almost all Jap @ strokes . You should also get a book while youre there so you can see how tghings come apart and what to torque bolts to. As for splitting the cases the gears usuall stay attatched to the R/S case and the crank usually stauys stuck inthe left . Dont remove the shifter ratchet mechanism unless you really have to becase that and the shifter forks will help keeop the trans together when disassembling Large rubber bands wrapped around the case R/S and trans will help hold the assy together until you are ready for that step. But that is where your problem is in the trans , right? As a beginner you really shouldnt attempt this without a manual or a friend that has done this before , plus the manual will tell you what to look for. When reassembling the cases it might help to lat a droplight on the open bearing side to help let the crank slie in also a little oil on the shaft . New crank seals and maybe main bearings might not be a bad maintenance investment right now also ,(theyre cheap while you have it apart). Use good motorcycle sealer on the case halves Yamabond or Hondabond or Threebond brand is good stuff . I have had many many of these YAMS apart and have seen parts of the shift mechanism R/S screws springs detent things etc come loose . Also I think there may be a small plate that hold bearings in the trans that maybe the screw has backed out . You could probably do this yourself just get the right stuff so you dont hack it up .Take it slow. GOOD LUCK [/QUOTE]
