my OEM manual is not very clear about the threads on the stator. are they reverse?
 
OK Got it off. thanks. Now one of the supid screws that holds the stator on is stripped at the head....ugh! I tried my extractor but it just chewed right threw that soft metal. do I jsut try another size up ? This could be a real problem because I think my crank seal is bad and now I can get this off to cheange it out. Also, once I get it out is there a better replacment that will have the same clearance as the original screw? I would like to get a cap head screw in there but I am afriad it will be taller and might hit the fly wheel? anyone else changed these out?

yeah, that sucks. if you round it off a lot. you may have to drill the head off, then split the cases to remove the rest of it. i replaced mine with stainless steel allen bolts. clearance was fine for me.
