what is this bike again? on my older berg the gear selector is held onto the splined shaft with a pinch bolt, if you remove the pinch bolt you could open the hole by tapping a chisel into the slot where the bolt goes through to open the circle more, i cant tell for sure what i am looking at in the picture.... my gear selector is steel not aluminum like yours appears to be? aluminum would be prone to breaking before bending but still may work, with the kickshaft....there is almost no room there to get a good puller on unfortunaly and it is aluminum which corrodes to everything it touches, have you tried giving it some real heat to the spline/shaft seat area with a torch not a heat gun? this will easily melt the o-ring seal if your not careful but you have nothing to loose if you are out of options, generally soaking with penetrant and 2 good small/midsize prybars would work. you may be able to get a puller on it or pry on it better from both sides if you move the lever halfway through the kick. can you attach a slide hammer to it somehow? maybe the good style 2 rounded jaw power steering pump pulley for an auto would work? or modify the jaws of a regular 2-3 jaw puller to get behind it with it in the half kick position? risky and will surely mar something up, but if you can get a chisel in between the case half and the kick start shaft, or one on each side of shaft in the same way??? can you tap the kickshaft in more toward the engine with a small ballpeen just to get it broke free from the shaft? ok im out of quick thinking idears....i think if you cut it off they are all the same from 89-96 probably even up to at least 1999 but i do not really know for sure so dont take my word for it......if i think of something else ill post back, there is always a way, just dont get mad and never say never! :cheers: easier said than done i know :?
