TeamRealtreeHD Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Guys... you have been a huge help so far. I have the bike torn down getting ready to send my jugs to Kevin Herr. Plan to have them out in the morning. I can't get them off thouygh. Removed all the cylinder bolts, head, etc. Everything is off. They are wiggling, but not moving or coming off. The Clymer book says to tap them lightly with a rubber mallet or something in that nature. But some areas are tough to get to! But they are moving just enough at the bottom for the eye to see, but won't budge. I am also only working on the one with the piston all the way at the bottom of it's stroke. How the heck do I get these jugs off? Quote
okbeast Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 Wiggle and pull, shouldn't be hard. may be stuck to teh gasket some and they can hang up on teh studs. Quote

That's exactly what is happening... it is hanging on the studs. I tried for a long time, I just ran out of methods. I was wiggling, pulling up, lightly tapping, etc. They don't want to move. I appreciate the quick respone okbeast, I really do. just a few seconds of your day can really help another's! Thanks! Quote
jbooker82 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 get a chunk of wooden broom handle and stick in the exhaust port. Then work the kick starter by hand. Dont go crazy and trash the cylinders just use it to help wiggle the cylinders up. Quote
okbeast Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 you can tap pretty hard with a dead blow and be ok too Quote
flyhighprerunner Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 i whacked the hell out of the exhaust port with a rubber mallet and it came of just took a little time. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 please tell me your trying to remove them with the motor out of the frame? Quote
TeamRealtreeHD Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 I got them off... I sprayed some wd-40 on the studs, and I used a rubber mallet at the exhaust port. They came off fairly easy that way.... Thanks guys... they are in the box ready to go to the jugmaster! Quote
