So I'm back at home and looking at this again.....
I think It's kind of getting there.....
I fitted a proper lip seal to the rear main bearing - this pushes the securing bolts further out.
The bent lock washers on these appear to be right next to the flywheel (probably compressed a bit when I torqued up the flywheel).
The top two were accessible enough to bend them away a tad.
My guess is that the bottom two are slowly giving in, as the clutch no longer stalls the engine, and the level of drag is reducing quickly (I've only done about 2 miles)
