Nevada 750 clutch job

[WildGuzziNicholas]

Anyone done a clutch on a Nevada 750? My throw rod bearing is going out I think. Could be something else but from what I understand the throw rod bearing is the culprit. What else could it be? When I pull my clutch in it starts to squeal. Might as well do the whole clutch while I'm down there. Any way to get to it without taking the whole engine out?

Search "crabbing frame" Most likely only pull swingarm to get at rod & bearing but pull trans is split frame. They have a procedure in the shop manual, I would use it. Good luck

Don’t know if you’re aware, but Guzzi motors are like BMWs and automotive motors in that for a clutch job, you have to go in from the rear. For the small block, you can crab the frame (have one set of frame bolts on each side still connected to the lower frame rails and hinging the rear up, making sure you’ve disconnect all pertinent wires and engine bits). Or, disconnect the wires and engine bits, and then remove BOTH of the bolts for the lower frame rails on each side in the front, as well as the two engine-to-frame bolts. Then, you can remove the frame and forks from the engine and drive train., like this:

As Steve said. You should only need to pull the swing arm, wheel, brake caliper (no need to undo the hose, just carefully hang out of the way) and any assorted bits to get to that bearing. NO NEED to pull the trans and/or engine for that bearing.
