    Hi Mike,

    Yes you can.

    I recovered my seat and did exactly this. The toolbox frame helps clamp the cover when it is fitted. You might want use some contact adhesive as belt and braces.

    Hi Greg,

    All done. A bit of heat and drill chuck worked a treat. Many thanks for your kind offer though.

    New bearings, seals etc are now fitted, gear cluster back together, cases re-joined and clutch/primary drive in place. Should get the barrel, head and new Vape generator fitted in the next day or so.

    I’ve got some work to do on the forks (new seals and oil) and I’m renovating an old front wheel fitted with a Honda TLS front break.

    After that, need to replace all bulbs to 12v and fit an new battery……and see if she starts!

    I will also post article and media of the rebuild

    Cheers!

    Thanks Andy, Brian and Peter.

    Heating the casing and whacking it with a rubber mallet from the opposite side has done the trick.

    Will start the re-assembly tomorrow.

    Cheers

    Cheers Greg,

    I’ll give it a go (I’ve also got a couple of old chucks that I can use).

    Should be back in the garage this week after a little delay (Mrs GH suggested it would be good to finish decorating the bathroom).

    Cheers

    Thanks both for your replies.

    I’m rebuilding the engine and treating it to a new crank (new old stock bought for a great price a couple of years ago), new bearings, seal, clutch refurb and a 12v powerdynamo/vape kit.

    I’m going to try locally heating the crankshaft around the key and see if I can remove it without damage. If not, I’ll do the obvious and source a new one…….

    I’ve stripped the engine and it’s the only part that hasn’t come out easily……..although I’ve yet to press out the bearings. Been pretty impressed by how easy these engines are to work on. I bought a clutch removing tool for the clutch basket but have made do with my collection of drifts and 2/3 legged pullers (made by me during my apprenticeship….a long time ago!) from my toolkit for everything else.

    Probably needs a rebore but that can wait to things free up after this bloody virus passes!

    Cheers

    Gordon
