The shaft for the Clutch Fork is hard to pull in most cases. I heated the back of the bellhousing with a propane torch to expand the metal slightly, used a longer bolt that I bought at Home Depot and used vise grips on the end with a twisting motion to finally pull it out. After you get the bell housing off, invest in a set of new needle bearings for the shaft. Use a small socket to knock out the old ones and tap the new ones in but be careful that they go in square to the new hole. Grease the bearing before you install them. Take some fine Wet/Dry sandpaper of very fine grit or steel wool to clean any corrosion of the shaft before you re-insert it and the clutch fork back into the bell housing. If the bearings are installed properly, the shaft should go in snugly but without any issues.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
