e. If the timing mark on the rear cam sprocket
does not align with the pointer on the rear
head, rotate the engine one turn clockwise.
2. Remove the alternator cover as described in this
chapter.
NOTE
Install the sheave holder so it sits
completely flat against the flywheel.
Do not let the sheave holder sit across
any raised portion (A,
Figure 31
) of
the flywheel.
3. Hold the flywheel with the sheave holder, and
remove the flywheel nut (B,
Figure 31
) and its
washer (C).
CAUTION
The timing gear normally comes out
with the flywheel. However, if it re
mains behind on the crankshaft, the
six springs and six pins may get scat
tered. Be prepared to catch loose
parts. Stuff rags into any openings in
the crankcase so nothing falls into the
case.
4. Install the flywheel puller and adapter onto the
flywheel. (
Figure 32
). Make sure the puller is par-
allel to the flywheel.
5. Turn the puller’s center screw and drive the rotor
off the crankshaft. If necessary, adjust a puller
screw to keep the puller parallel to the flywheel.
6. Remove the Woodruff key (A,
Figure 33
) from
the crankshaft. Note that the timing mark (B,
Fig-
ure 33
) on the cam chain drive assembly aligns with
the Woodruff key.
7. Remove the starter idler gear assembly (A,
Fig-
ure 34
) and the idler shaft (B) from the crankcase.
