    14:11 How do you keep the transmission and drive gear from spinning when you take the drive sprocket nut off? Also, this nut on my 2005 is a 32mm. And the big nut on the clutch basket was a 30mm. Thank you. My chain broke and knocked the drive gear cover mount post off which is a part of the engine case mold. Exposed the transmission bearing. I'm replacing the top case and this video has been a life saver. Thank you John and Partzilla!

I just drained the coolant and it looks brown and almost oily? Is that a sort of coolant or could it be oil in the coolant? Its not milky at all. Thanks again for these videos!
