Hi
Have decided to get the my 1955 Manx running and need to replace a push rod bush and it has been 20 odd years since I last did it.
My problem is I cannot get the side cover off?
I have removed all the nuts and washers around a dozen off (it said in my old manual that there 9 nuts, but there is more than that), and cracked the joint about 0.020", but it will not move any further, I can't remember having this problem before.
One problem could be the damaged bush could be holding it, but I doubt that because the cover looks to have moved evenly in the small amount it has moved, and I can still move the bush.
The bush was damaged when a push rod fractured, grabbed s chunk of bush and loosened the bush in the cam box .
Have I forgotten something?
Best Regards
Burgs
