Hi All, Thanks for the info Slide, Softly softly seems to be the way with the puller, it was definitely pulling on the roller cage to start but it came of eventually, not so sure using bearing tight is such a good idea. Thanks for the torque info Billybream, the case nuts were not on there but the rest will come in handy. So I got it all apart and started from scratch again, guess what it all went back together again and this time its fine. Finished up with 1.67 thou endfloat wich looks fine. I did use a new bearing and as for what was wrong before, I can only guess, but I think it may have been that the bearing outer did not go into the crankcase square. I didn't have an appropriate size sleeve for the press and had used three sockets one on top of the other to get a deep enough sleeve to clear the crankcase studs which were still in the l/h side.
So today before fitting the new bearing outer I bought a suitable sleeve, 39mm deep socket did the trick, very cheap compared to a bearing sleeve kit.
I have done the case nuts up to 20 ft/lbs, any comments any one?
Just the remainder of the rebuild to do now, roll on Spring.
Regards Huddie
