It has a slot, although not deep enough to do any good. Leave the tach. cable on and using Channel-lock type pliers, squeeze hard on the cable end and just unscrew counter-clockwise. They can get stuck hard...

The gear on the main shaft won't allow it to come out. THere's a lip at the top of the housing. What am I doing wrong?

I got the tach drive gear out. But the gear on the mainshaft wont allow the entire mainshaft to come out of the housing.

Could it the area where the roll pin goes through the shaft has a burr and maybe dragging on the lower bushing? Just a guess.

Ok, the main shaft gear....Yes, burrs on the shaft/gear will cause it to stick, as well as dried oil film. May need to soak it in P.B blaster or similar. Be careful with the bronze shaft bushings.

Luckily it appears that ecklers sells a new upper bushing. So now it appears that I need to figure out how to get the bushing out.
