    Thanks to this newsgroup I was able to find a tachometer gear assembly on
    EBAY.

    The gear will not budge from the camshaft holder. I am currently soaking
    the entire assembly that I just got in the mail in mineral spirits....hoping
    that I can free the gear so I can replace all the seals and get on with my
    life...If you recognize this screen name and have been following this group
    you'll remember that about a month or so ago I was back to square one with
    the original tach assembly from my bike and I couldn't get the ^$&%# gear
    out so I took it to a shop and they broke the gear tang right off....so I
    found one on eBay that is also stuck.


    SO WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO UNSTICK A SEAL THAT HAS BECOME STUBBORN LIKE THIS
    SO I CAN REMOVE THE GEAR AND REPLACE THE SEALS?

    Not sure *what* was going on, (Kaybearjr) leapt
    in with:
    I dunno 'bout what anyone British would think about mineral spirits,
    but 'round the USA where I live, it's the term for paint thinner.
