Thank you all for your suggestions. Compressing the pistons and more vigorous wiggle did the trick.

Apologies if this is a repeat, but searches in the forums revealed nothing. I have been unable to find illustrated instructions in the forums, and the shop manual I ordered has not arrived. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that blocks progress. What is the trick for removing the front...

Thank you for the technical info. That was exactly the answer I was seeking. Now, on to the question of nomenclature, and some more input about the Idaho OHV tax. I can't remember exactly where I encountered "dual purpose". It might have been last summer when I was first looking at mine...

May 2015 marked the end of the bleakest three years of my life. (I was too young for Korea, and too old for Viet Nam, so I don't have a very difficult benchmark.) In March-April, 2015 she remarked, about every week, something similar to: "I hope you will be able to enjoy life." June...
