The end of a fun ride

[Hooptiee]

The curse finally got me after 2 yrs of running the piss out of my Banshee i finally welded that clutch ball and it bent the outer rod after the adjustment nut fell off. Now I cant remove the inner rod and ball any suggestions? is there away to remove it without a complete teardown? What really sucks is I had a pancake bearing sitting in my tool box just hadn't had the time to install i was going to wait until this winter and put itin with a fresh top end.

You may have to replace the transmission shaft. Yes you have to split the motor.

I figured the only way to do it was tearing it down, Sounds like a total rebuild while I'm at it, I'll have to call my engine guy and see what he suggest's. It was dynoed at 64hp, might try to get up to the mid 70 range.
