related parts to get at the back cover and replace the spring.The thought of
pulling the engine/trans is best left to the mechanics.............KO

Not true! However, to get the tranny out without the engine probably isn't really worth the effort. It's involve rotating the engine up on the front mount while doing amazingly close quarter manouvering of the tranny. It cannot be measured in inches but rather millimetres to know how fucking tight this manouver is. The good news is you can remove the cover enough with everything in situ to replace the spring. I cannot remember if you have to pull the swingarm back or not, but, that part is eassssssssssssy and certainly gives you a ton more finger room. At 02:06 PM 10/21/01 -0400, you wrote:
