My first project - 1974 CB360 K0
Craizeehair:
Yes, silver casings originally and may revert but wanted to make half presentable for now. I have seen Ash’s advice on the horns, something for those long dark nights perhaps?
Craizeehair:
Today I split my first ever engine, that felt good!
The countershaft stayed in the lower crankcase as the seal circled in blue is not budging and will not it let go.
Any tips to get this seal shifted without doing any damage? As a complete first timer, I’m nervous about damaging anything by over enthusiastic encouragement!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I would turn the casing upside down holding it up with a couple of timber off cuts so gravity exerts it's influence on the whole shaft assembly. Put some rubber matting or old towels down for the gear train to fall on.
Squirt some releasing fluid where the seal contacts the casing then give it a tap from above with a rubber malett, that should break the bond that has formed between the seal & the case. IIRC there is a lug on the seal that stops it from rotating.
Bryanj:
As Ted says whack with rubber, nylon or wooden hammer
Craizeehair:
Thanks chaps, all out now and stripped. This half has come up well, bottom half in the background still to be cleaned.
