Thank you both for your replies, it sounds like I need to consider the replacement of the bearing lip, once I get the crankcase cleaned up a bit more I’ll have a close look at that area.
The camshaft is out of the crankcase complete with timing gear, I did try giving the puller a bit of a tap when pulled up tight and after warming up but I suspect I was erring on the safe side and was a bit too gentle, I’ll give it another go in the morning.
Chris, many thanks for the explanation of the bearing situation, I’ve just nipped out to the garage to make sure I understood your description, when they are back to back as you described the inner races are overall wider than the outers by around 0.030” and i can barely get a 0.002" feeler betwwen the two outers, they haven't been washed out properly yet, does that sound right?
Thanks again, ..... Phil.
