FOR TRANSMISSION REMOVAL.
2. Remove shifter forks and drum. See 6.9 TRANSMIS-
SION DISASSEMBLY.
3. Remove countershaft and mainshaft. See 6.9 TRANS-

INSTALLATION
Mainshaft and Countershaft Bearings
1. Place crankcase on press with inside surface of crank-
case downward.
2. Lay bearing squarely over bore with printed side of bear-
ing upward. Place a pressing tool (slightly smaller than
outside diameter of bearing) against outer race. Press
bearing into bore until bearing bottoms against shoulder.
3. Install new retaining ring with beveled side facing away
from bearing.
Shift Drum Bushing
1. Place crankcase on press with outside surface of crank-
case downward.
2. See Figure 6-86. Lay bushing squarely over bore. Using
a pressing tool larger than diameter of bushing, press
bushing into bore until bushing contacts shoulder in left
crankcase half. If using a pressing tool larger than diam-
eter of bushing, the pressing tool will bottom against
