Actually the shaft is embedded in the clutch disc assembly. I tried to pull it out but is too hard. Should I clamp it with a plier?When you get the powertrain down, place the engine on some blocks, and prepare to separate the transaxle from the engine. There is a long input shaft between the clutch and the transmission (about 24 inches) and it is splined at both ends. Quite often, the larger spline stays embedded in the clutch disc assembly, and the smaller end pulls free of the transmission as you begin separating the heavy transaxle (supported by the hydraulic jack) from the engine. Carefully maintain the alignment between the two components to avoid any lateral pressure from being applied to the input shaft, which can damage throwout bearing shaft if the input shaft is allowed to lever against the side of the throwout bearing shaft. When some clearance opens up between the differential face and the clutch housing, you can probably reach in and pull the input shaft free of the clutch, and then finish moving the transaxle away from the engine.
Or Can I carefully pull away the transaxle from the engine leaving the shaft in the disc assembly? (we are two people, so one can hold the shaft in the clutch ass.y while pulling away the transaxle).
I disassembled the first cyl head (right side). Barrel #5 came with the head. How can I separate it? where/how can I ... hammer???
Also barrel #1 is not coming away from crankcase. how can I pull it without damaging?
Any suggestion???
Many thanks for your valuable support!
