I often see complaints about how hard it is to undo the 3 screws that secure the engine cover at the the front......it's not hard if you use the right tools for the job, in fact it it easy...as easy as shitting the bed and kicking it out with your feet!

Cobber I, in common with everyone else on the Forum, am delighted to hear that you have recovered from your recent Trauma. I will be interested in the upcoming How-To on the Clutch Change.
