I always press mine in these days as i bought a cheap stand press from MachineMart a good few years ago and haven't damaged a bearing since |

when changing bearings its always best to remove everything.
so remove the clutch - as that will be needed to change the main bearing once the crank is out of the way. and also remove the gears from the layshaft before you attempt to remove the shaft. save on potentially damaging them and also allows you to inspect them at the same time. |

Guessing rust, by the looks of it. If it was well lubes they usually slide off with some help from a pry bar on both sides. Mine didn't take much force at all.

Try an appropriately sized 'C' spanner, using the jaw as a hook under the clutch top and the curved bit as a fulcrum on the end of the crank........or try to find the threaded puller tool was the Spanish intended.

if the brake binds when the hub is offered up to it, you may be hitting a high spot on the new shoes.
spinning the hub on the shoes as you are putting it onto the spline, should mark where the high spot is - if its only in one or two areas then yes. sand it down till it allows you to spin it. sometimes shoes need "bedding in" The other alternative is that the shoes could be too large to start with for the hub. in that instance i would measure across several reference points the relative size of the shoes. then compare that with the same measurements taken from the drum itself. |

in terms of the welder(s) who have been less than sterling in there customer support....
i would be looking for a mobile welder at this point, they actually turn up as they need your custom and my experience of them has been positive. speak to your preferred mobile welder before he turns up and discuss what you want doing. |

the guy i,ve been getting all my parts off On Small Wheels ,had a word with one of his friends who lives about 2 hours from me ,he did a cracking job,and he repaired the casing around the kickstart shaft ,price all together just over a hundred quid,bargain i thought! T
he casing ,barrel and head are getting vapour blasted today,just waiting for a few new parts,primary drive bearing etc then its going back together,David Payne the parts guy said it was an oddball engine and a bit difficult to get the correct parts for it , i,m just trying to work out how the accelerator cable is connected to the inside of the carb |
