Subject:Help removing clutch lever
From:Shawn Wright
Date:Thu, 7 Apr 2005 18:34:36 -0700

I can't get the &#*$(# clutch lever off the clutch fork rod! I need to get this
apart so I can replace the broken up plastic sleeve on the rod. I've let is
soak overnight with PB Blaster, and bashed it as hard as I dare, but there
seems no way to hold this thing still while bashing it without destroying the
bellhousing! This is a diesel bellhousing, otherwise I probably would have
smashed it to bits by now in frustration. Should I try heat? Cut the damn
thing off?
Any suggestions appreciated before I ruin the bellhousing!
