If you look REAL close at the bottom left bolt hole, you might be able to see it looks different.
I broke the the bolt off in there :baldy
Thanks to Steve telling me to use PB Blaster on the remaining two that were stuck, they came right out easily.

So Steve and I pulled the bell housing off...

And took these to the machine shop to save it.

As it sits now.

Steve checked the rotor, it's ok.

:yahoo: Way cool! And I hate suborn bolts too! I like the idea of using a PB blaster instead of just screaming at the *#@* thing.


You forgot to mention how much you learned by doing all of this and the cool factor of bragging to everyone here about it. ;):

Absolutely, what he said!


This is Awesome!

[Pawprint2104]

Beats using a torch, WD-40, and an EZ-Out. Busted bolts are never a pleasant experience.

[Luna Tique]

I always enjoy your projects.
I look forward to reading and seeing the pictures when you start the rebuild.:thumbup:

[shoganai]

the cool factor of bragging to everyone here about it. ;):

I truly hope my posts have not been seen as bragging.

I just enjoy wrenching and hope my posts encourage others not to be intimidated by tackling their own bike projects.

Humility is one of the guiding factors in my life.

Don't force it get a bigger hammer! :lol:

Shogani,

I enjoy your posts. They are inspiring and educational. Just keep on doing what you're doing!

[ImaSoftT]

Shog, as always your pictures are amazing, thanks for sharing them with us.

Saturday dawns and I'm up early in the garage. While waiting for parts to arrive I finish some small projects on my K11 then start cleaning parts from Smithy's bike.

The clutch nut on the right is the old one.

Then Smithy arrived ready to get to work.

For some reason Chris liked this chicken so he wanted it in some pics. He tried to explain it to me but I'm sorry Chris I just didn't get it.

Tapping in the new seal, or Smithy in his natural state with a hammer in his hand.

Using the same alignment tool I used in High Level in 2006.

Pulled out the old shaft seal.

Chris brought a home made drift which worked great.

I struggle horribly with taking the written word and forming pictures with them in my head when it comes to directions. Chris had the misfortune to witness this first hand. Sorry for making this part stressful.

http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-bvw7Q4v/0/L/IMG4349-L.jpg

Now I need to back up just a little bit here.

While Chris and I were struggling to get the intermediate housing in place on the back of the engine, it kept hanging up. So Chris calls Jon D., and while they were talking I kept trying to seal the housing.

As I pulled it off to start again to attempt yet again to get it on the crankshaft gear and spring fell out!

"Holy SHIT! Dammitallthehell" - I believe those we're my exact words.

See, what Christ didn't know was before he arrived I had called Morton's BMW about some parts for myself and they asked me what I was doing, so I told them.

When the tech understood where I was working on the bike, he said, "Listen, there's a flat disk spring behind the crankshaft gear and if it falls out it can go in right or wrong equally well".

"If you put it in wrong, you won't know it's wrong until it's all back together. Listen, if it falls out, give us a call before we close at 5 and we'll talk you through putting it in right".

The only saving grace was that I had touched those gears the other day and in doing so discovered that that gear could be pushed in slightly and it would spring back.

So Chris and I start trial placements (after I get my poop in a group) and were able to get it in oriented correctly (up/down) and flipped in on the shaft right.

So from there things go fairly quickly.

Dude!! It's only 12 nM.

http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-D4zGFmm/0/L/IMG4357-L.jpg

Chris started calling my digital torque wrench the "Boss" because it's badassed and always right.

When in doubt, apply leverage.

Aligning the cush drive to the alternator dog was a PITA, just sayin' .

http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-sQhkWGj/0/L/IMG4358-L.jpg

Who would have thought the shock of all things would give us a real us that much trouble.

http://shoganai.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Smithys-K100/i-qDxMJsC/0/L/IMG4365-L.jpg

But we were saved by Steverino who showed up and directed our efforts with great effect.

It will wait here for the replacement rear cowling we broke when moving it.

Good times indeed.

Thanks shoganai
I really enjoy reading and seeing your wrenching reports. :thumbup:

[Astir]

:wootrock: Way to go Shogani! Thanks for taking the time to take pictures and share the process with us.

[msyzf2u]

Shogani!

Wonderfully informative as well as entertaining. :thumbsup:
