Clutch Fork Removal
Has anyone else had a trouble loosening up the pivot stud? I barely got the bell housing off and in anticipation of difficult re-assembly, I'd like to loosen up the pivot stud to give me more room to slide the fork onto the T/O bearing. I removed a smaller bolt/cover deal. This revealed what appears to be a 12 mm Allen. I’ve put quite a bit of force on it and nothing! The wrench is biting in and denting. Before I soak it with liquid wrench and use an impact gun, you all have any thoughts? It isn’t reverse threaded or anything, right? I don’t want to damage the bell housing. Or better yet, any tricks for re-installing the bell housing without loosening the pivot stud?
