okay so that pinion gear comes out, then work on the universal joint, know one thing for sure there is going to be a few achore bolts put in the floor of the shop. it's to tough on the constitution, having the bike balanced on the bike jack, thanks for the tips, pete

You can do it sitting on the centre stand, where the front tire can be on the floor, as well.
