Everything needs to be taken apart.
For all the doubting Thomas's out there here's proof it can be done. What y'all failed to tell me is that the swing arm pivot bolt screws into the left case unlike a Sportster which screws into the frame, which is why the cases wouldn't part even after I'd removed the timing cover & gears.
The problem is the 3rd & 5th gear shift fork which was seized to the shift drum. Looks like a piece of metal sworf got under the locating pin.[img]blast 2 cases split[/img][img]3rd5thshift fork[/img]
I have a couple of pictures for you but can't figure out how to attach them to this reply, so click on my user name [exhawgdoctor] & click on my images.
I should also add, this isn't the 2001 Blast I mentioned earlier hat has the lurching after engaging 1st, I'm still riding that one, this is a 2005 that would only engage 1st & neutral.
