- April 21, 2020, 13:59:58 PMThanks for the help guys. I took all of the motor mount bolts out. I left the rear through bolt in place. I was able to jack the engine up high enough to remove the bolt, but then faced the same dilemma when I went to put the cover back on with the new shift shaft installed. I had a clearance issue getting past the frame. I was able to just barely force it past the frame. I don't
think I could have gotten any more clearance, but it ended up being just enough. Should be all good now. Thanks for the help.

To remove it u need to remove the section of the right downtube frame that is held in by 2 + 2 bolts with chrome covers. First, brace the engine with a jack, remove the bolts, cut down the offending bolt if u wish for next time, then away you go - pain in the arse, the bolts for that cover are different lengths, take note that so it is easier to re-assemble.

- April 17, 2020, 08:27:03 AMI am trying to remove the stator cover so I can replace the front shift mechanism shaft. I can't remove the bottom bolt. It hits the frame when I try to remove it. Has anyone figured out a way to do this?? How do you get the cover off and by the frame??? Is it difficult to remove the shaft once I have the cover off???
