Clutch Casing Stuck

[looey]

Having trouble removing the r/h clutch engine cover on my YPVS engine

All pipes, cables and casing screws are out and the casing has come away about 10mm all the way around but it just won't come off the water pipe connection . Am I missing something or is it likely to be just furred up stuck and need some more force ?.

It's so stuck on the pipe that if I push the casing back on, it pushes the metal pipe back throught the engine casing !!!

Any ideas ?.

Cheers

Doesn't the o ring seal, sit in the side casing, be brave and use a little more force, the pipe does get quite corroded.

My lc one was stuck like that I don't know how hard you've tried to pry it off but if youkeep levering equally it will come off

Done it, cheers.

In the end I ran a bolt through the casing hole directly above the pipe, then put a washer and nut the other side, then put a steel rule across the face of the crank case face and as I wound the screw in, it pushed the casing off

Cheers for the advice, mainly wanted to make sure I wasn't going to break something I'd forgotten to undo

Any ideas how to get the pipe to hold in position whilst I get the casing back over it ?.

It's obviously going to be a very tight fit and I can see it just wanting to push back out of the way rather that slide into the casing fully

There should be a metal ring securing the pipe so it does not push through plenty of silicone grease on the o ring

Do you mean the removable metal ring around the pipe about 5/6mm behind the rubber seal ?.

If that's the case, then I assume that when that hits the crankcase opening, the pipe is still sticking out enough to allow the casing to go on the pipe and seal ok ?.
