Topic: shift fork removal on a 78 cb550k

[gbal06]

Does anybody know what I am missing?  I can not get the last shift fork out.  I have removed the cotter pin and do not see a dowel but it won't slide off the shaft?  Also how do you remove those locating dowels with messing them up with pliers?  Thanks

Use a magnet to pull them up. There has to be a dowel or else it wouldn't work. You have the shaft partially removed, right? I mean, you're not trying to slide it off the shaft while the shaft still captured by the case?

No it's partially off when trying to remove the fork

For the life of me I can't figure out how to get that off.  I connected a magnet to it and hung it upside down and shook it with out it coming off
