dry fit till both shafts are correct ie no freeplay and slight preload( 2 thou )but no free play but turn easy is good then loctite all bearing races and shims

endfloat isnt what you want whatevers written in maual,but you start with endfloat and measure and shim accordingly ie 10 endfloat requires 12 thou thinner shim to give 2 thou preload,but usuall if you use original shims and theres no freeplay and shafts dont have drag its good

Catastrophe time
Decided to try out the press by fitting the reverse idler to the centre plate, didn't notice until too late that for some reason the press plate was not flush with the bed??
Resulting in this:
The shaft went in suddenly with a bang and popped off part of the centre plate
I can push the shaft part way out with just finger strength - guessing that's the casing knackered then.
Really not happy with myself.

safer to fit another case and plate as both are matched pair

Started work cleaning up the other case....
Gunked, jetwashed, front cover removed, naff reverse idler pressed out and splash plate removed.
Needs attacking with the wire brush then it's getting painted.
Also fished out the centre bearing shims that go with this plate.

Awww no that sucks massively I did a similar thing but managed to ruin the bearing. I was doing fortunately they weren't expensive atall but it will be something's you never do again trust me it will be check once check twice then check with each pump lol make sure it's all square makes ife so easy lo good for stratening bent bars aswell

Head's a shed
Just need to sack the bikes off into another shed now...
I'm not jealous at all
May have to invest in one in the future. Hmmm might need to build a new shed first though

Cleaned up the 5th/reverse gears & hub assembly, replaced the springs and baulk rings - no idea why I cleaned up the 5th gear because I'm replacing that one with a V8 ratio one, DOH!
Cleaned the oil pump assembly and fitted a new gasket. O-ring will be replaced when I fit the pump.
Next job, will be case painting a little later this evening.
Then tomorrow it's on to pressing bearings in/on and checking preload.
