I'm probably over planning this but, as I will be removing the engine and gearbox on my Ulsteroid, I am thinking about the various jobs it may be worth tackling at the same time.
I'm actually intending to fit lip seals to both the rear main and also the input shaft of the 3-speed gearbox but I was also considering if it's worth trying to eliminate some of the wear in the clutch mechanism to hopefully get more did-engagement.
I have previously fitted new toggle levers and corrected the wear in slots where the toggles locate but I know there is also wear on the thrust bearing housing both where the toggles press and also on the lugs which contact the withdrawal levers.
In addition there is wear on the ends of the withdrawal levers (BH82 and BH83) themselves.
Has anybody built up the worn areas of the withdrawal levers and the filed them back to the correct profile and / or on the thrust bearing housing where it contacts these?
Any advice would be appreciated.
