New Year's Day 2020 had me chasing a 30mm standard wall socket when I learned that my impact style socket would not seat on the gland nut. Busting loose the gland nut turned out to be a routine affair, the outrigger legs on my box helping to keep the frame from twisting. There's a rubber ring on the rear main seal that proved to be hard and cracking in my hand. Pulling the clutch housing- the last of the four clutch components had me resorting to a puller. The o-ring on the shaft really does halt progress when VERY hard...By removing the puller after an inch of progress and tapping the housing back in, the binding o-ring becomes visible and vulnerable to ..my scalpal. perfect cutter for this. Housing slid out like "budda"
So I'm halfway done with the project, with about 99% remaining. Need a few parts, need to paint and pretty, but the upside potential is still there. Back to work tomorrow.
