Stuck engine (clutch) cover

bluefin · 05-29-2005

Grateful for any advice on how to safely remove the right hand side engine cover (on a ke175). I have removed all bolts but the cover seems to be stuck fast - don't want to hit it too hard or try to pry it off. Any other ideas?.

Thanks

on my gpz900r I have to remove the three bolts that hold in the clutch, well only 1 actually but I cant ever remember which so I remove all three.

Keep looking if its stuck real good because chances are theres another bolt.

if your 100% positive you have all the bolts removed hit it with a SOFT BLOW/RUBBER HAMMER, there are dowels that will help locate the cover and they can be corroded etc. and if its NEVER been apart before then the gasket is prob. gonna make it stick like glue also.

yeah also bump outward with the hammer, not down.

This will help ensure your not just wasting your time since there is dowl pins going straight through.
