I gave up trying to get the synchro clips in through the top cover. So out is coming the gearbox. Eh, it's a good learning experience to boot so what the heck. I'm just about done but have a few questions:
1) Rear driveshaft - how can you rotate the rear driveshaft to get at the all the nuts on the transmission brake backing plate? I only got it to turn enough to get 2 of them out. I have the front driveshaft off already.
2) Transmission brake linkage - I removed the cotter pin off the lower section of the linkage that is near where the bracket is attached to the frame, but I can't pop the linkage apart. What is the best way to detach this linkage to remove the gearbox?
3) Clutch mechanism thingy - Where is the best place to detach the clutch mechanism at the gearbox? I see two spots where there are studs with cotter pins, one is horizontal nearest to where it enters the gearbox, the other is vertical nearest to the clutch linkage. I'm assuming just one of these needs to be removed, which is it?
Thankful for beautiful weather today,
Jen
