Sorry to hear that Mike-when you redo,make sure the slipper feet are located properly on the release bearing-mine kept trying to jump off-little fu**ers-grease stopped em dropping off-Also check have you got the driven plate(friction plate )in the right way.
If it cheers you up at all,had all me wheels off y'day-found one of front break pads had delaminated,and half of it was missing(never seen this before in my life)and at the back there is a torsion bar with ball joint connector things on em-the nearside one is in two halves-thought the back end felt wiggly.
Does it ever end with Landies-good luck on your rebuild

Well what a difference some prior experience can make

Friday afternoon 4 hours and 10 mins from start to finish to turn release bearing around... not too bad.

Has ran like a dream all weekend, expect the last hour on a my way home the clutch pedal started to get stiffer and a creak/squeek appeared upon pressing the clutch pedal down.....

any ideas?......

Would this make it harder to press?

Glad to hear you got it sorted Mike,is it behaving properly since you refitted the spring?
You did fit a reinforced fork I hope.
