[QUOTE="redbloke1956, post: 26479, member: 2299"] Hi Guys, just a little feedback so far....I heated the cases with a hot air gun for 2 hours or so and then spent 30 minutes locally heating around spindles with a butane torch, i removed the spindles with a slide hammer and it still took some effort with all that heat. I cooled the new spindles in the freezer overnight, reheated cases and inserted them using the same slide hammer and loctite. I purchased a number of 1/2 time pinions and found that a +.004" removed just about all backlash, I am now fitting the Alton alternator and the B-TH mag before I have a crack at setting up the timing of the gears, also replaced the cams, cam followers small idler, large idler and large idler spindle.....if the missus ever discovers how much I have spent on this project so far she is going to want a new kitchen. will keep you posted, thanks for all advice and feedback so far guys.
