Good information. And re
If the back tire is in the air your good, you do know that the whole primary drive has to be removed also, to be able to get to the bolts holding the tranny and primary back plate together,

Good information. And those bolts to the shocks was so tight It took everything I had to turn them why I thought it still had pressure. I'll give it another shot.

Put blocks of wood under your rear tire so the swing arm won't move when you take the shock bolts out.

Did you have trouble getting anything off that I should know about.
No not really. I did drop one of the shock bolts to access the trans bolts. Have to use a combination wrench on most of them.

Clutch hub nut (Right hand thread btw) was pretty tight so trying to loosen that and keep everything from turning was a pain. Ended up stuffing a rag in the primary. Other than that pretty straight forward.

Then putting it back together I forgot to attach the shift lever, so had to take the inner primary/starter all back off again, so don't do that.

Haha thanks brother. Yeah got all the transmission bolts off now, next is getting to the bolts behind the primary. Good tips I'll use them well.

Yes... left hand (reversed) sorry.
I have to deal with Left and right hand drive at work, right being reversed, and that was on my mind.

Don't know why we don't call it what it really is...cw and ccw, its rotation not a direction.
