I've almost got the cases spilt, but one last bolt won't come undone. I can't find a lot of my imperial sockets etc, I assume they've been lost in a house move at some point. Which is rather damned annoying as it appears I'm going to have to buy another 3/8" drive selection & some combination spanners. Surprisingly I did find the special puller I bought last time for the crank sprocket though.
It's come apart ok with the wrong tools in places, but I want the right ones to putting it back together.

Tools ordered, I should be able to split the cases later this week.

Oh yeah, despite what the factory manual says you can split the cases without removing the gearbox internals.
They'll come out when I clean the cases and replace the seals but leaving them in makes it easier to keep them altogether and not had to sod about working out which cog is which.

Small update.
I cleaned up some more parts at the weekend & today I've paid the bill for the repairs on the engine parts. That's £950 I won't see again, but worth it to sort the problems properly.
I really must start putting some bits together hadn't I?

Right ya whining sods, I've started the rebuild.
I put the forks together this afternoon with new O-rings in the two places they need them and obviously new seals. I forgot to order dust seals ages ago when I got the new stanchions so I'll have to remember to order them when I get an engine gasket kit.
The engineering place have started work on the head etc, I paid out £950 for that this week so feel rather poor.
