anyone know how to take out the rotary shaft??? my mechanic would tell me becasue he would would be out of a job, lol

There is a c-clip that has to br removed at the intake side, then the shaft can be removed. DO not beat on the threaded end, the shaft will bent very easily. I use a a socket to go over the threaded portion and tap on the socket, Be very carefull, I will repeat the shaft can be danaged very easily and is big $$$$$$$

I see a hammer in the first pic, I hope it's not to late!

yeah, i have hit it a cuple of time, but i used a philips screwdriver and placed it in the cenert...but that just messed up the threats, lucky i left that nut on their..

i will try the socket thing

OMG....i got it out now....i took the big clip off but never saw that little tiny clip inside the case. once i poped it off the shaft came right out....i had to do i little grinding to the shaft becasue i mushroomed the tip bit

not its going to be a pain to get thebrass off the rotary gear on the crank, its like baked on
