I like the slot idea of Martin. It seems the stud connects the dry sump to the front cover.
I really don't want to pull the motor (again). Once the nut is off, there is not much room between the tube frame and the cover. Maybe just unbolting the motor mounts and transmission, then lifting the whole drive train up a little will give me room to get the front cover over the stud.
Mike, your are welcome to come for a beer, but I am leaving the work to Radical Motorsports. I'm just micro managing!
