Strip down the main casing
  • Gently tap out the main oil seal together with the metal spacer using a suitably-sized socket or drift.

  • If you plan to replace the main output bearing, you can also tap this out with a socket or drift; it should come out easily.

  • Drift out the steel plug covering the layshaft bush and drift the bearing out (if it hasn't fallen out already).

  • Unscrew the gear selector pivot shaft

  • Unscrew the detent plunger housing bolt.

  • Note this bolt may be incredibly tight. If it's stuck, apply a bit of gentle heat to the casing and use a power bar and a good-quality wall-drive 21mm socket to remove it.

  • There's no need to remove the gear selector bush, as it's unlikely to be worn.

  • Wash the casing out with paraffin or degreaser.
