Haven't done anything on the GTV other than tried to loosen the flywheel. The lock ring is tight. I may need to try making a socket to fit. My normal pin spanner wrench wasn't getting it.

The good news is I am one Guzzi richer. Bought that Stornello on eBay. Now I just need to figure out when I can drive down and get it. I am now a three Stornello owner.

Surely you are aware that the lock ring is reverse or left-hand
threaded. It serves as a lock for the center bolt as well as an
automatic puller for the flywheel. The center bolt is normal threaded.
Mark the lock ring before loosening and then loosen it only about
3/4th of a turn. Now go at the center bolt to pull the flywheel.

You won't get anywhere with pin spanners and such. Shock and impact are
far more important than torque. You need an air gun and the proper pin
wrench. I have both and you're not that many miles away. My Falcone
flywheel is off while I await clutch discs. No problem for me to swing
over for a visit and pull your flywheel. You'd then have loose parts in
hand so that you can fabricate your own tool.

You should use a holding plate to clamp the clutch side cover before
removing the perimeter screws. I have that plate and you can copy it.

You'll need a hand impact driver as one or more of the perimeter screws
will be very tight.

I think you have my personal e-address to set up an appointment. In 10
days I go to Glacier National Park.

I don't however recommend the impact wrench for assembly. 
Guess how I sheared the Woodruff key?

Yup, read about the direction and operation of the ring and screw in your manual translation. That has been indispensable during this adventure. I'll be at the shop every work day. Usually from 7:30 till 4:30/5:00. I think I still have our recent conversation and your address.

Thanks Patrick!
