I laid out everything I needed for the install, and was missing my clutch fork. I threw the old one out because I "knew" I had a brand new one in a closet. I'll be damned if I didn't tear the whole house apart trying to find it... to no avail.So for all my good intentions I got as far as having the clutch installed. Wow. Go me. :nonono:One thing did go right though. A friend told me you can remove a pilot bearing by packing the back of the crankshaft full of grease, putting a clutch install tool in there, and whacking with a hammer. Re-pack and repeat as necessary. It worked famously and only took about 8 minutes. I'm used to the bludeon-it-to-death-with-bigass-slidehammer method and let me tell you this is far easier and less aggravating. Three good whacks with a hammer and clutch tool and it just popped right out. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Anyway, looks like this little project will be delayed another week.
