[QUOTE="Matty, post: 111107, member: 1339"] Hi Brian again You must be a very patient and younger man than me because taking the whole gearbox in and out a few times is quite a bit of work because it includes rebuilding the clutch with its roller bearings each time etc. which I find very hard work at 83 !! To just change some parts however - for instance, to replace my original bent layshaft which was still working though noisily after about 60years,- I have left the mainshaft in with a rag behind the clutch to stop it moving out. However why not buy a spacer from Draganfly with its oilseal to see if it will fit - first making sure the bearing ( hopefully with its oilseals still In) is firmly shrunk in and back against the flange in the casing. I then fiddled around with suitable spacers so that the circlip would just go into its groove. I may not in fact have used any spacers and perhaps used one of the old rubbery oilseals. Draganfly are quite a helpful business and may perhaps sell you a spacer on a sale or return basis to see if it would fit. All the best Matty [/QUOTE]
