clutch push rod question
i am in need of replacing the push rod seal and i have the seal ready to go. i have read just about every thread on this process but none said if i had to remove the chain. i think i do, right ? but if i had to take the chain off i would have to cut it. im gonna get an RK chain and new sprockets anyways. is this correct? the chain has to come off? any info is appreciated.

You definately don't have to cut the chain. At most you could loosen it up and pop it off the front sprocket or you could just take the front sprocket off and move the chain back.
If your putting on new stuff anyway, might as well cut it off, but you certainly don't need to in order to do the push rod seal

Loosen up the chain (rear axle) as much as possible. Then you can remove the sprocket (even a 17T) without cutting the chain.
Remove the pushrod first then there's space for the chain to clear away. Hang the chain by some bolts in the sprocket cover mounting points. Then fiddle the sprocket out.
Removing the seal retainer takes some fiddling too. It can be a bit tight removing the retainer end from between the generator cover and the engine casing.
Be carefull pusing in the new seal. Dont push it in too far.

As said above. You do not have to remove the chain. Just go to work and you'll see how it all works out.

 Or (and I really need a macro key for this one  ) download the service manual from the File Vault link at the top of the page. It will tell you step by step, with pictures no less, how to go about changing the seal.
