In Nowheresville Mexico with a Clutch Release Arm Issue - Help please?
Bike: 2002 F650GS
Location: Nayarit, Mexico
Appreciate the help. Doing this in less than ideal conditions, but all things considered not the worst place to be broken down.
In the process of replacing the water pump seals, the clutch release arm (horizontal shaft coming out of clutch) was pushed back into it's housing. Yes, this is because I tried to put the cover back on when it wasn't lined up properly. My folly.
My question is - do I remove the clutch cover and hammer it back out to it's seated position? Is there anything that may have been damaged as a result? Any recommendations for this process?
Photo attached showing the clutch release arm sitting out at an angle. It's loose to the touch.
Thank you if anyone has experience with this and can help! I need to be back on the road in two weeks or so or else I'm gonna miss Christmas with my mom, which was the only thing she made me promise when I left a few months back. This one's for you mom!
