Cam drive gear broke, need help!!!

[Vstarman2010]

Hello everybody, I need some major assistance. I tore down my '05 1100 Classic to replace the starter clutch and when my buddy and I went to reinstall the generator the cam drive gear broke. Pulled the timing chain off but can't get the gear to come out thru the bottom. I know these can be replaced but I'm at a loss trying to get it the gear sprocket out.
Does the motor have to pulled out in order to pull the gear out or am I missing something?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray

I Was going to answer your email this morning but I was running around ...
Amigo, that sucks ... It has happen to many people for what I know so someone should have some inside.
Perhaps in the 1100 riders ...(I think you are a member there too.

Did you ever get an answer on this, or figured out how to remove it? I just had the same thing happen on my 2004.
