T3 kick sarter

[90nut]

I am trying to get the kick starter off of my 84 T3 but I cant get it to budge. I took the nut off of the shaft and tried wiggling it but no results. I used penetrating oil, engine oil, about everything I could think of besides heaing it up. I didn't want to do that since i have the tank on it and the carb is full of gas and all of the fumes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I had the same problem, I stuck a srewdriver in there and spread it as much as possible then it wiggled off.

how or where did you stick a screw dirver in it? Mine is a full circle around the shaft.

if you can and wouldnt mind posting some pictures of that would be nice. because there should be a small gap that will fit a screwdriver right where the bolt rund through the kick starter should wiggle loose.

wrong part, I was thinking of the Gear Shifter. Hmm that is way weird, either its Tack welded real small or you misseed something. Check out http://www.buykawasaki.com/Default.asp?
Under Owner Info Pick Parts Diagrams. This site came in handy many times when I redid the Tecate. Has diagrams and even Part #'s

For all the parts diagrams. I attached a diagram in case you might be missing something. Or make a Puller to pull it off the shaft. Im sure you can rig up something to pop it off.

Meatbox, that site is going to come in very handy since I don't have a service maual yet. I still cant get the kick sarter off of the shaft. I have heated it up, used penetrating oil, All sorts off things. I think I am going to use you suggestion of makeing a puller of some kind. I actually got the side cover off but the whole kickstart assembly came with it. I will keep you posted on what I find out or what happens with it.

check to see if someone didnt screw in a short screw thats in the hole of the kicker screwed against the shaft.
