Ken,
My pin did not shear off, but I found that the fork fit so tight
on the shaft that I could not move it to the left so that the
shaft could be removed.
The trick I used was to make up some pieces of wood that were
long enough to create a spacer between the RH side of the
bellhousing and then I used a bronze hammer to drift out the
shaft from the fork. The wood transfers the load from the fork
to the bellhousing. In order not to take any chances on damaging
the bellhousing... I turned the gearbox casing on its side to
rest on the edge of the workbench surface.

How do you get the clutch shaft out of the fork? My taper pin is
sheared so I
took out the gearbox (sure could have used another set of hands).
Now I can't
get the shaft out of the fork. The fork moves forward and back
some on the
shaft, but not sideways. I've tried to gently persuade it with a
hammer, but
I'm afraid I might break something. Any advise will be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Waringa
