Ok, it sounds like the thing to do is open up the rear cover to 22mm. I'm not sure what to call them but I have the inner & outer pieces that go on each side of the needle bearing on the five speed. The outer piece on the four speed is flat, whereas the outer piece for the needle bearing has a shaft sticking out, does this shaft need to be machined flat? TIA Ken |
Yes, it does need to be machined flat, and you'll have to use carbide to
do it. That sucker is HARD! You can turn it down in a lathe and/or have
somebody grind the thing smooth for you. BTW, order up a new o-ring for
the outer plunger.
