i think i'd just put a new spring in, remove shrapnel and fill the hole. you'd still be left with the speedo drive problem though.
if you want to get the bearings out either use an internal bearing puller of the slide hammer variety after warming the cases or simply heat the cases in the oven (while the wife's not looking, obviously) then bang cases down on a piece of wood. bearings will prolly drop out.
re fit using bearing fit.
why not just use the existing bearings in the new cover?

Subject: Weirdest thing
Well I just found the weirdest thing on my 5 speed tranny. Last night I was cleaning it in the sink, when I found a small section that protruded from the case. I thought it might just be one of those nice casting flaws and kept cleaning. Well this morning I got back at it and looked closer and it looked as if it might be a roller pin! Damn this is going to look messy inside. Well I got it all apart and lo and behold, it wasn't a roller pin, but a piece of the dreaded return spring that had lodged itself halfway thru the case!! It was on the opposite side to the rest of the return spring! Now I hate to have been the one riding the bike at the time this happened. The rest of the spring looks perfect, no rust or pitting. Must have just been a weak spot on the spring or someone really trying to hard to shift. Now I could just cut the protruding pieces off and slap some JB over the ends to prevent any leaks, or I could transfer the bearings over to the other rear cover. Any suggestions on the easiest way to remove the bearings? Transferring would at least put my speedo drive in the right location, as this tranny is from the T3.
