CX500 / CX650 in-bike Transmission removal and replacement tool.

This pricey little tool can save you from hours of labor when replacing transmissions in all CX and GL models.
Worth its weight in gold, and will only cost you a wire coat hanger.
CX500 Turbo, GL650I, Two CX650E's, and one Crown Jewel of the CX line- CX650T.
Why do I own five CX/GL bikes? Ask an alcoholic why he drinks.

This is how it is used.
What you have to imagine is that there is a spring that holds everything in place.
Lift the spring, transmission drops out simply.
The only trick is shims.
However, it is so easy to drop and replace the transmission with this tool that shims aren't a problem.
My mechanic did this to Racer about 1000 miles ago, and I have had no problems at all.

Thanks, Tim. That may just come in handy later. I suppose you pull the shifting arm down and out of the way of the drum end?

This is worth a sticky, right? Can someone do that or know how to request it?
