finally started working
I finally got the wheels off, in this case I was right, I wore out my lug nuts to the point the key tool no longer fit. so I got new lug nuts and a new key tool. 1 problem fixed.
now that the wheels are off I discovered that the rear end right side case bearing is very bad and missing bearings. as some will remember I replaced the spindle bearings but not the case bearings. well now im going to be replacing the case bearings. yes all 4 of them, both sides. problem 2 identified.
next off are the shocks, the rear exhaust, the rear fenders. then will come the exhaust manifold, the seat and gas tank. this will give me access to the clutch. problem 4 I will also be removing the body and repairing a rear brake line issue and a broken plastic piece between the body and engine. then I can identify the third problem with the clutch.
this is where I at, I will know more soon, at least I can work now the wheels are off. still need 2 people to help remove the fenders, it takes 3 people to remove them. yes Im going to remove the battery today and put it on a charger this time. might be 6 months for this repair.
the good news is JOY is not wrecked this time. this should be a smooth disassemble and reassemble. I don't have to remove any wiring or the main stay or the handle bars. just the body and radiators moved aside. the motor is leaning forward so I should not have to remove my new oil just keep the clutch cover on when not working.
