Am thinking '77 has a cir-clip like the '76. It's fitted deep, is difficult to remove, and will likely be destroyed during the removal process. Usually, a new cir-clip is required for reassembly.

Am thinking Z1E lists extra long needle-nose pliers needed to reach the cir-clip.

If needed, there's a link in my sig for help with navigating kawasaki.com to view the parts diagrams.

Good Fortune! :)
