Jeeks:
You should have one of those impact drivers around.  That screw on the powervalve is a bitch to get out sometimes.  You can get them at Sears and most hardware stores.  Keep that trick Don gave you in your memory banks.

Get that grease out from inside the tranny.  When you assemble everything, use whatever trans fluid to lube the bearings while you assemble it.  I use vaseline on seals and o-rings, ect inside the transmissions.

Kawasakinut:
so how do those seals come out? yes i am full of questions! never dealt with them before. 

gowen:
There are ways to remove them without a seal puller, but you have to be VERY careful, because you do NOT want to score the aluminum and cause a permanent leak.

I don't recomment using anything other than a seal puller (cheap tool). Back when I was young and money was an issue, I used a flathead driver very very carefully at the top to remove the seals. But, again, I was extremely careful not to touch the case in anyway to avoid a score and permanent leak. I don't recommend this way and would say it is worth the few $ for a seal puller, cause you will find you can use it for any motorcycle or car in the future.

It's worth 6.99 from your local Advanced Auto vs. f**king up your cases.
