I do want to avoid the CNN appearance, but here's what I'm thinking.

Run the adjustment nut to about 1 1/4" of fork travel, so I'm sure the pressure plate is disengaged. Drop the car on the ground and try to rock back and forth in gear, with help. If that doesn't work, and I'm looking at pulling the tranny, down to the flywheel anyways, I guess if I break the starter or flywheel, it might be worth a try. So remove the coil wire, engage the parking brake, and the foot brake, make sure there's nothing around me, and hit the starter.

So what gear should I put it in for rocking or the starter?


Larry, Thanks. I'm posting the ff link here for others to see also. Yes the 5000 rpm and hit the brakes hard is scary, but with the wheels off, and 3000 rpm, it sounds doable,... that is once I get the motor started.
