So I finally get to work on my recently purchased 110. I drained the oil, removed the right crankcase in order to clean the oil screen/filter.

Now here's my issue. To put the crankcase cover back on, the clutch ball retainer (see pic below ....piece I'm holding) will not stay in place -- will just fall off when I let go of it.


So I figured I will just put the clutch ball retainer inside the crankcase (see pic below) and install the cover. However I'm not certain that its seated properly when the cover is on since obviously I can not see it anymore. THe cover fits fine its just difficult to tell if its installed properly.




Any thoughts or ideas on how to make this work? What am I doing wrong here? Please advise. thanks

 

anybody has any thoughts on this question?

 

Have a friend or a 2x4 hold the machine at a angle roughly on it's side.

 

Why did I not think of that ??? Thank you.

 

We all have those moments.. no worries. And glad i could help.

 

I guess I just didn't think of tipping a vehicle on its side in order to work on it. This is my first 3 wheeler so next time I need to think out of the box --- maybe have this thing on its rear tires or even up side down if needed. Can't wait to starting riding this thing. thx again.
