Steve,

I have 2 jointed hook spanners. I used the smaller one on the nut. The copper pipe trick was born out of necessity. A few years ago I was using a wood wedge and it finally gave out. I had a piece of copper on the bench from a plumbing project and the light bulb came on.

Hill, only need to use the stock head gasket, good for STD- S4.

She lives again! Got the motor done and back in the bike yesterday. Re-timed it and she fired right up. Adjusted the idle screws and she fell into a steady rhythm. I will get it on the road later in the week or the weekend. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this time.

"Since I'm taking down the motor I will slide out the primary drive sprocket and clutch basket with the primary chain as a unit. To get the nut lock off you need to flatten the lock washer tabs. You should fid at least one folded over into one of the recesses on the lock nut. Next take a flattened chisel or heavy screwdriver and give the nut a whack in the counter clockwise position. After loosening it should just finger spin off. I noticed a problem with my assy and I'll tell you about it in the next post."

I'm so glad I found this. There's no way I would have been able to remove and replace the stripped gear shift assembly in my CB otherwise. This forum rules.
