kranswall Posted October 7, 2005 Hey all, Got a problem here. I busted the spring that puts tension on the clutch Push Rod. Ok, so got new spring...but I can't get the Push rod out. I of course have removed the Bolt that holds the Seat plate down. The push rod comes up about 1/4" very easily, then stops dead. How do I get this thing out? Thanks, Matt Colorado Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kranswall Posted October 7, 2005 The Yamaha manual just says "remove push rod" I can't figure what it's sticking on. Any ideas? I'm am due to head to Moab for 4 days tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonova Posted October 10, 2005 Grab it with a pair of needle nose. It is a tight fit and some times can get hung up if you don't pull it out straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tshe1 Posted October 11, 2005 as far i can see at the manual you need to remove the pressure plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slipper40 Posted October 11, 2005 Yep you have to remove pressure plate as the top of the rod has a removable cup with a lip on it that seats on the inside of the plate it looks a bit like a top hat cheers Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonova Posted October 11, 2005 Oh yeh gota have the pressue plate off. kranswall - I thought you had the pressue plate off already. Sorry for the miss info. My bad. Once the pressue plate is off the push rod (rod that goes through the case) comes right out then you can take out the push lever (what you are calling the push lever). Steps: Remove pressue plate.

kranswall Posted October 15, 2005 I'll give it another shot tomorrow, though I have tried pliers. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
