So I thought I needed the bearing inside of the clutch because when I first took it out a small beat-up not resembling a bearing, at all, thing pop'd out, and ever since my clutch arm would come up and out of place.
So I bought one with a few more parts, needless to say, I probably didnt need it. I put the clutch back together and it was abnormally hard. Once I got it together the clutch wouldn't budge. So I take everything apart again, take out the bearing and try without.
All seemed good, chain was sticking a bit cuz i got a new one and had to shrink it but other than that, fine?
So I get on peddle a bit, determine its good to fire the engine, release the clutch, then...
Nothing, I'm stuck peddling.
Whatever, maybe the cord is too tight?
Remove the cord from the clutch arm and the bike rolls fine still. uhh oh..
I tried going to the back of the clutch case and removing the part with the gears, unfortunately I had a shop work on this bike and they rounded some screws so its damn well impossible to get it off.
I have a dremel and am tempted to try cutting the bolts so I can get them out, but I would have to cut the case a little because of the size of the dremel disk.
Imma try a rubber band tomorrow and see if that works.
If nothing does should I buy a screw removal tool instead of saving the $5 and cutting a bit of the clutch case? Is there another way to fix it without removing the clutch cover?
Help?
