Rebuild the casing
  • Remove all traces of old gasket or sealant form the casing face.

  • Pop the casing in an oven at approx 150ºC. Put the main bearing and layshaft bush in the freezer.

  • Once at the correct temperature, the bearing and bush should both drop into the casing (or go in with a light tap).

  • Use Loctite 603 to fix the layshaft bush in place.

  • If you have the later type of casing with a locating hole for the layshaft bush, make sure the machined recess in the bush lines up with the hole as shown here.

  • Check that the face of the layshaft bush is proud of the casing. Some replacement layshaft bushes are too thin and will cause the layshaft gear to touch the casing.

  • Put some thread lock onto the thread of the selector pivot shaft and screw it in firmly.

  • Don't put the plunger bolt in yet; that comes later.
