Ha! Yes, thanks Rich.

I loaded the frame and engine into a mates car and we hauled it down to Castleford

Phil at Torch managed to press it out. Cost just an hours labour (i'd spent three times that on tools Etc to no avail, and lost 3 weekends of the rebuild time).

They are now going to overhaul the engine (more than likely a GP crank, definately a 12v stator, rear hub bearings and gear selector arm Etc.).

Thanks for the recommendation Rich.

He had some nice scoots at his workshop - a couple from a chap in a local band that were pretty tip-top!
