I figured it out. There are two cap nuts at the rear middle of the cylinder about five inches apart and above and below each other.  Start the bike and let it idle. Back the two cap nuts off by about a half to 3/4 turn. After they are both backed off then tighten them both. You are now done at the rear of the engine. Go around to the front and find the 10 mm bolt that goes through a 14 mm lock nut.  The ten mm bolt needs to be backed off about half a turn but first the 14 mm lock nut needs to be loosened. Loosen them both then tighten the 10 mm bolt. Next, tighten the lock nut. Et voila, you are finished. Hopefully you won't burn your knuckle like I did. Thank you.
