I'm trying to get to the variator and clutch on the Vog. I removed all the screws and covers on the crankcase cover, and I removed 10 8mm bolts from the cover but its not budging. The only things I see that could still be removed are some of the bolts holding on the fuel pump and one engine mount, but none of them are on the cover itself as far as i can see. Also, the YP250 manual notes 11 bolts, not 10, but I'll be damned to find that extra.
Assuming everything is off that should be off, what's the technique here? My research so far just has people saying "hit it with ta hammer" which i even tried. Screwdriver as chisel? thanks in advance.

There is one in the middle of the cover in a inset hole, can't see it. It is right behind the plastic cover on the front part of the variator.

Jr- I got that one, thanks. Hit is with a hard rubber mallet type hammer and then slide a thin bladed screwdriver in. It's just stuck really well.

Well JR, you've done it again. There are 11 bolts, and the 11th was in the center under the glued on foam. There is a bolt next to it that I thought you were talking about. So I have the cover off, but I cracked it around and in or so right in the center by the bolt. I'm thinking that I can fill in the crack with epoxy since there is still more than enough here to hold it.
AND - Problem sloved. the transmission elements are fine - the teeth inside the rear wheel ground down and the spindle no longer caught on them.
So . . . . while I'm here I'll put in the sliders. The belt looks pristine. Leave it or change it anyway?

scot - i thought the cover was stuck so I was chiseling it off with screwdrivers until it cracked to relieve the strain, right where there was the hidden 11th bolt. I like that I'm learning on this scoot but i seem to break something with every repair.

yes I know about that ,that's why I am hear I have already broke one of the plastic tabs on the plastics,I have had to super glue or duck tape jb weld or just leave things broken all my life ,so your not alone ,did you see wich belt is longer they can stretch ,I guess I would go with the change an if the old belt is good ,then keep as extra,or if its to much trouble ,then keep what you got ,I guess they say good to 3000 miles depending on the rider an how hard they hit the gas ,can depend on wear,an I am sure I will have more comeing down the pike
