-====== Removing the engine sprocket / clutch basket ====== 
  
 +===== Clutch cable =====
 +
 +The clutch cable is best removed from the cover. \\
 +It's awkward to handle and keep the cover out of the way while you remove the sprocket / clutch basket and work on the stator. \\ 
 +However, for this application,​ you could simply leave it on and hang the cover from the bike once removed. \\
 +If you have to remove the cable connection or the cover completely from the engine, removing the cable is the easy part. \\
 +It's easy to cross thread the cable in the primary cover if the cable isn't stretched out to keep it from binding up when installing. \\
 +To remove the clutch cable, detach both ends as shown below and any holding clips and/or wire ties. \\
 +Retract the cable connection fully to allow slack on the inner braided wire. \\

 +Remove the cable holding clip (if used) and any wire ties etc. that may be holding the cable to the frame. \\
 +
 +{{:​techtalk:​evo:​engmech:​adjusting_-_removing_clutch_cable_7_by_hippysmack.jpg?​direct&​300|}} ((photo by Hippysmack)) \\
 +
 +Remove the clutch lever from it's bracket by removing the retaining ring (circlip) underneath and pivot pin from the top. \\
 +Then pull the lever from the bracket, swing the cable wire through the slot in the bracket and remove the plastic cable pin. \\
 +

 +
 +Then pull the clutch cable down thru the trees and lay it out in front of the bike. \\
 +Use a 1/2" open end wrench to loosen the cable connector at the primary cover and then you can most likely twist the cable to loosen the threads. \\
 +This method will help keep the cable straight so as to not cross thread it making it more safe for re-installing the cable later. \\
 +
 +Be careful not to damage the O-ring on the part of the cable that comes out of the cover. \\
 +Inspect the O-ring and replace it if needed. \\

 +
 +====== Loosen and remove the primary cover ======
 +Loosen the screws will most likely result in an oil leak. So, first, put an oil drain bucket or catch pan under the engine. \\
 +Loosen the primary cover screws but don't completely remove them to allow oil to drain into a bucket or catch pan. \\
 +
 +The primary cover has (14) 1/4" and (2) 5/16" Allen head screws of various lengths. \\
 +They will need to be replaced back in the same holes from which they were removed. \\
 +So, their proper location will need to be marked upon removal. You can make a drawing of the primary cover on a piece of cardboard. \\
 +Remove them one at a time and then put each into it's respective place in the cardboard as removed from the cover. \\
 +You can punch the holes with a screwdriver,​ insert the screws for holding and it makes reassembly less of a headache. \\
