do the threaded bar or better still long bolts with the heads cut off. (they slide thru the gear box holes better.)

I've got 7 studs in the engine side that fit through the bell housing to help line it up - must be the spigot bearing stopping the input shaft entering the crankshaft...

iv'e never got my 200 to just pop back together and i've had the lump out 5 or 6 times now, everytime ive had to use threaded bar to guide it in and once had to do up the nuts on the bar to pull it together.
 
Just a thought but when you have your clutch plate back out try it on the gearbox shaft just in case you've been supplied with the wrong one, do this if only to eliminate one possible cockup !!!

Whats the best way to remove the spigot bearing from the crankshaft???

(can someone switch on the JM bat signal please??)

you might prise it out or just chisel a split in it with a small flat screwdriver,it's very soft and will just split and pull out.
 
I didn't want to draw it together using the bolts as i didn't know if it was lined up right - but i couldn't do that anyway as the studs didn't poke through the otherside of the bellhousing.

The plate is lined up perfect with the spigot bearing - so it must be the bearing stopping it from going in??

Can't see it meself unless the bushing is outta shape.

You've asked for advice.

mine is get some longer threaded bar inserted and use a bit of of force to tighten it all up. If it really won't go on by tightening the nuts up. you soon realise it. Get some pressure on the nuts then turn the crank pulley slowly. If it's jammed it won't turn. Some times ya just gotta give it a bit of brawn.
