When I changed the one on my son's banshee,I shoved a piece of a towel down the hole and cut the needle bearing using a dremmel, popped it out with a screwdriver then i used a little magnet to fish any metal shaving that fell on the rag.After installing the new one I ran it around for a little while and changed the trans. fluid.......

that would be fine and dandy, BUT i forgot to mention that i cant get the lever out of the god damn hole..........FU*KIN BIKE!!!!!!!!!

The clutch actuator/arm should pop right out.Are you sure the rod is not welded to the clutch arm?

[locogato11283]

yea something isnt right. the clutch arm should slide right out. you took off the bracket that holds it in right? its possible that the clutch rod wore a groove in the clutch arm causing it to not come out..

I KNOW lol!!!! something is definatly FU*KED up, and no it isn't welded to the arm cause i had it out about six months ago, i believe the problem is that the bearing is totally messed cause there is a lot of grimey metal coming up through and i can feel in the arm itself that is all rough and pitted up, i now have the motor out of the bike does ne have ne ideas i dont really like the idea of a dremal tool cause i dont have that steady of a hand ???????????????????
