I have bought a second hand b52 gearbox and wanting to check it over but the outer cover will not come free i have had the one thats on my 54 16ms off to renew the gasket and that one came of with ease. Am I missing something or has there been a change in design ie hidden bolt/nut ? they look like identicle gearboxes
Thank you
Kevin

Re: b52 geabox cover
Is it stuck on with sealant rather than a gasket? If this seems to be the case then try sliding an old knife between the joint. Do NOT use a screwdriver

Done that to no avail what I have done so far is take all the outer cover screws out remove gearstick and kick-start levers a few taps with a rubber hammer while using a blade. ?

No. Don't remove kickstart and gearlevers. Do remove the gear indicator, nut, and spring. Then using the kickstart lever, wiggle the cover free.

Got the little devil off tonight I think someone in the past has used a form of superglue to seal it once again thanks for the help and advice

Re: b52 geabox cover
Gaskets ordered from the site ready to put it back together as all appears to be good with the box am I right in thinking that I may as well fit kick start and gear lever shaft seals as well the numbers in the parts book don't match the ones on the site sales dept , Kick 11206825 Gear 27-7-4 pwb4 ?shifter wrote:Got the little devil off tonight I think someone in the past has used a form of superglue to seal it once again thanks for the help and advice

Re: b52 geabox cover
Yes you may as well replace them. Kickstart oilseal club number 11206825, (has the Burman number underneath 27-7-5), gearlever is 27-7-4. Seems clear enough to me. I don't know where you got PWb4 from??

Re: b52 geabox cover
I'd be inclined to check the clutch lifter mechanism at the same time.
