250sx: openning crank case to replace a gasket?!

[JasonB]

I bought a manual from someone on this board. I wont have it for like a week but I want to fix my trike now! It has an oil leak on the right side of the crank case where the reverse lever sticks out of the engine. the leak itself is between the case and cover under the reverse lever. I ordered a gasket online so it should be here tommorrow.

I dont know if I should try to replace the gasket without a manual on hand. Do I dare? is there anything I might need to know to take it apart or put it back together? :?: :!:

If you're unsure about the process you should wait for a manual to come.

I still dont have the manual but the gasket has arrived. I took the right crank case cover off. the end of the spring that is for the reverse lever was sticking out between the case and cover! Im no genious, but it looks like thats not where the other end of the spring is supposed to sit. SO, where does it go?

AND should the end of the actual reverse lever sit above the frame about a centimeter or so or should it be pushed all the way down to the frame when reattached to crank case? I really need some answers
