Having removed the 5th Gear and Fork on the Left Side, I had to grind off the
Counter Shaft nut's "staking" indentation.
It was so well punched in that I couldn't force it back out with my punch.
I was afraid that I would damage the shaft, so I ground it off with a "Moto Tool"
wheel.
I'll have to buy a new nut. They are like the nuts on the end of the axle shafts in front.
Now I am at an impasse....
I cannot figure out a way to hold the Counter Shaft from turning while I twist off
the nut.
I tried putting a rag between the Counter Shaft Gear and the 5th Gear on the
Input Shaft, but the gears just cut the rag up like a pencil sharpener...!
I hope I can finger out what to do and not have to BUY that damned "Special Tool"...
Later.....I just found a post at the bottom of
http://www.teamswift.net/viewtopic.p...710d5e95f5a121
which says, "
..... remove the shift selector first. Then you can reach into the case and move all three
shift shafts up or down, locking up the gearbox. That way, the counter-shaft can't turn when
you try to turn the nut.
Guess I will do that....thanks
