I bought the puller and removed the Starter clutch which came off fairly easy BUT now how do I get the collar off so I can change the left seal.
I tried 2 screw divers at 9 and 3 to pry off but no go.

Re: GT 750 starter clutch collar
Got an E Mail and it seems the only way to replace the seal is to split the motor.
Then use a puller to slide the collar off.
Here I thought this was an easy job..
Really not in the mood to split the motor
Guess I'll put it back together and just ride it.

Re: GT 750 starter clutch collar
Sometimes the collar you refer to does just slide off - my own experience has been its usually tighter than the non-twist off beer cap I just ripped my hand on
And the seal is best done with the engine split.

If at first you don't succeed, just get a bigger hammer !

Re: GT 750 starter clutch collar
I'll see if the problem still persist..then maybe during the winter I'll split the case.
