Yes as a matter of fact you are holding the shaft. The "paw" gear that the adjustable wrench is on is pinned to the shaft and once the nut is loose enough that the pin will not hold the shaft there is no need to support it any more. The reason for holding the shaft is to prevent the lower pin in the side cover from bending or breaking so holding the shaft as shown in the picture is a good way to easily support it.
There is no pin on the shaft on a 91 KDX, hence my asking as to what position the lever has to be in when tightening the nut. I'm assuming the valves have to be closed thus the lever and shaft in towards the head?

Sorry about that, Thought it was an H.

I took the top end off and loaded the 2-3 kips chambers with brake fluid, there's a small rid that leads to the crank case that has a COUNTER THREAD NUT on it other wise you'll get mad and strip it!


Thanks, Frank
