Balancer and cam chain guide removed

So, after 8 more bolts that did not come off without some coaxing with the breaker bar, I was able to remove the balancer assembly:

This allowed me to finally gain access to that crappy tensioner guide that is falling to pieces. It was not as simple as I imagined it would be to remove, so I had to improvise a little bit. To remove the main horizontal pin that holds the guide in place, you have to first remove a little vertical pin.

 I took care of this with 2 pieces of coat hanger wire, which I used to kind of pinch and lift the pin, which I could then remove with pliars.

With the retaining pin out of the way, I tilted the remainder of the crankcase to help it slide out, then used that stupid telescopic magnet thing I bought at Autozone years ago because I thought it was cool.

Finally found a user for the thing other than trying to grab metal objects from across the room :D

So here it is, the nasty looking cam chain guide that caused me to split the case in the first place. Its replacement is ordered, so once I have cleaned things up I do not intend to replace anything else within the case.

Wishful thinking I'm sure ;)
