I followed along with the post trail as I too was separating my crank case. I hung my engine as described and it worked. However, it wouldn't come completely apart. 95% apart except one area near the generator side of the case. I can put my hands inside most of the crank case, but only my fingers around the side near the generator. I have turned the drive shaft thinking some of the gears might be suck but that didn't free the crank case either. Any idea of what could be "catching" and preventing the crank case from separating completely? My bike is a 79 cb570K model.
