Kickstart Shaft Removal From Case help...

[cap9709]

Hey guys, earlier today i tried putting the right side case back on. I am having issues getting the spring for the kick start to line up. On all the pictures i am seeing the kickstart shaft is removed from the case, however i cant get mine out of the case. It has to be something obvious, i just cant see it. Thanks!

Wiggle it. It will come off

Or just take a pair if plyers and pull the spring to the hole

You sure? I meant the clutch cover.

I dont have enough room to use a pair of pliers.

I have done it a dozen times on 4 different blasters. Its all the same. Use needlenose plyers

There's two springs, one can easily be put in the hole but im not sure about the other? Pics please.

Just hit it about a dozen times, got it. Not sure how im gona get it back in... lol

That white bearing was almost seized to the shaft because there was so much buildup. Gona go clean it up now.

You pulled the whole shaft out right? Do you have a clymers manual? If not, theres a downloadable one on the forum

 

[Myblasterisblue]

The shaft should have one metal thing that you can move easily with your fingers and one spring thats pretty stiff

Yep, I've got a clymers too. I knew it couldnt be common because nobody has ever mentioned it online. Tue end of the shaft kind of mushroomed to where it couldn't fit thru the hole in the cover.
