Title: Primary shaft removal.
Post by: Dolomite_ on January 08, 2024, 09:53:01 PM: Im currently stripping the engine and following the haynes manual for it. Ive been trying to remove the primary shaft but it feels like the nut needs a hell of a lot of force to undo.

Is there a way to hold it in place? I've still got the pistons connected and it seems like they're holding it in place when I try to undo it.

Whats the best way to undo the bolt holding the primary shaft in?

We gave ours to my daughter a couple of decades ago with a load of farthings & a Guernsey 50p coin.
