Title: 700 Drag Washer stuck
Post by: jgp12000 on July 07, 2026, 02:24:42 PM
while servicing my only 700 I tried to remove the drag washer it appears to be asbestos? It is stuck & looks like I will destroy it trying to remove it

Maybe you can get something underneath it and work it loose. Might be a good idea to replace it anyway, they can get stuck almost like glue and the only way they come out is in pieces
