Tappet covers

<< < (3/3)

Laverda Dave:
If the cover is off the engine use a bench vice. Grip the flat of the offending tappet cover in the vice and turn the cam cover around it, worked for me👍

Oddjob:
I've used the old hammer and chisel method a few times and it works, ok it knackers the cover but it was knackered anyway so no real loss.

oldchuffer:
Some good news: I sat outside today in some lovely Anglesey sunshine and attacked the caps with hammer and chisel, two started to eventually rotate and unscrew the other two were more obstinate and just broke up, leaving the screw bit intact. I used a junior hacksaw blade to cut through in a couple of places and then it released. Pleased to say all threads intact too. Result!  Many thanks for all the advice.

Laverdaroo:
Nice one, well done mate! ;)

Yetanotherbike:
Well done that man! I was going to suggest gland pliers have worked for me in the past, but no need now. :D
