Crownwheel teeth can be viewed through the filler hole.
The larger shaft and roller bearing can be used but some simple peg arrangement is necessary to prevent the outer bearing ring migrating. Adjustment is easier as the pinion withdraws simply, whereas the ball race has to be eased out of the housing to view the meshing if the view thru the plug hole is inadequate. For normal use, with the higher rating of genuine modern bearings, the original ball OK.
if the old cwp is not damaged or worn very deep, wear steps should be very carefully removed with a Dremel or suchlike before attempting adjustment.
Adjustment of worn can be tricky as the ratio operates in two hunting sets.
