splitting cases advice

Substitute "Years of big hammers" for "Lots and lots of beer" and "Gym" for "pub" and it makes sense.

So what you mean is you are not living, merely existing a drawn out torture!

I don’t drink a lot of beer but when the doctor told me I had to cut down on salt, sugar and fats I ripped the piece of paper up and threw it away. I cut out chemicals and processed foods and feel a thousand percent better. I just eat proper food that still tastes good to eat.

You aint got a wife thats 23 yrs younger than you and paranoid about anything happening!

Making progress on the disassembly got pretty much everything out apart from the rear drum gear (the side with the neutral switch the fixings are completely rusted solid and starting to strip). I've been giving it a good soaking with penetrating oil and trying to use an impact on it while holding the drum but obviously this isn't the most effective. Any better suggestions on how to remove these without destroying them?

The drum should just slide out after removing neutral rotor(1 screw) drum detent and roller plus selector clips and pins.

Yeah it's that one screw that I a struggling with, will post a pic later but basically that screw is stuck and when turning the drum turns so not really able to free it.

Yup, next timp you will undo that screw just after removing sprocket cover!

Haha yeah, guess this is all a learning experience. Managed to get that one free finally but the one next to it holding the rest of the mechanism in place is nearly stripped

Also managed to get a close up of the middle selector fork. Looks a bit knackered, assume I'll need to get a new one. Thoughts?

If you can find a new centre selector expect to pay a LOT of money for it but its the same as old 250/350 twin(K3/K4) and they 350 box turns up in the US regularly so buy the box on ebay and tell the seller just to ship the forks and drum.

Thats a 550 dog Bryan, not a 500

[Bryanj]

Sorry forgot, even worse the F2 is a different part number from the US K model and both are unavailable. Trig what about hard chrome and regrind, or stellite weld and regrind?
