With the gearbox already out, it made sense to replace the clutch plates and crank spigot bearing. Of course, it can be done by slinging the ‘box and moving it back – thus obviating the need to remove the seat box.
There is one important detail I missed in the video, that is to boil the spigot bearing in oil before fitting – I just used EP90 boiled up with a camping stove.

Fill the spigot with grease then whack a perfect fit bolt/rod etc into it, hydraulic force pushes it out…

I think I saw this posted on a certain group in Facebook. Was that your post too?
That is one heck of a spring on the starter drive.I love the way the whole seat tub just unbolts and comes out. Makes it a lot easier to work on the clutch and transmission
