Well need I say it.....lol

of course I do

Thats another good use of a manual. You can read about specifics on a project before jumping into it to see how deep it is.

I have the clutch cable all the way loose still won't pop out.

 

lol lol

 

what year bike?

 

Sigh, yah know. A manual also uses pictures that coincide with text to perform certain procedures.....

Makes it simple as all get out.

Sometimes having one with out the other can make things a bigger pain in the *** than they are.
Thats also why the parts manual kinda goes hand in hand with a service manual cause it has exploded view pictures.

Don't know how many dowels there are in the Primary cover but more than likely you will have to use a rubber mallet to tap on the cover to break it loose....Don't try to pry it off because you could damage the gasket surface which can result in leaks...

 

Ihave the tension bolt backed all the way out. All bolts are out. Inspection covers off. Clutch cable loosed at the boot. I didn't want to damage the clutch cable getting it off the clutch. I tried to loosen the cable where it goes to the cover but it spins the whole cable. Thanks for helping you guuys. It's a 2000 883
