Another kickstarter question
The splines on the kickstart shaft look good except for a small nick from the Dremel. The splines on the knuckle were shredded, I ordered a replacement, a Tusk brand lever

Sorry it took so long. I just today got the broken kickstarter off the kickstart shaft. I do not recommend this but when nothing else worked we did the following: remove exhaust, remove carb, beat the knuckle with a pipe stuck through where the carb was. This took extensive beating with a hammer...
Thanks Z-man,
I have cut through part of it like you said, almost big enough for a screw driver. I will continue to cut tomorrow, took today off to think about it.
Cutting through as you described is the plan.

Z-man: thanks for the suggestion, the Dremel is the only way due to the space issue as you mentioned.
Anders: I'm still looking into bearing pullers but a small one is hard to find, thanks for the suggestion though.
The Dremel sounds easy but its not, the grooves on shaft are right underneath...
My kickstarter stripped some teeth (2010 EC300) and now it is stuck on the shaft. I tried several gear pullers, no luck they slip loose, can't grab the back of the kickstarter. My other choice is the Dremel. Not sure what to do, any suggestions?
Thanks...
