Managed to spend a few hours breaking the bike down further today and got a lot accomplished.
Firstly had to buy a couple of tools (I'll create a list and budget at some point) a "C" wrench which was a great find and a shaft puller for the clutch main spindle.
The day's gone smoothly, the oil in the main crankcase was really disgusting very thick and white looking which is probably down to age.
Engine suspension arm came out no issue, didn't have to use hammer and chisel like it said I might in the books as nut came off no problem.
Clutch also came off, maybe a little to easily and I'm concerned woodruff key is to loose as the slot looks abused, so I'll have to investigate that at some point.
One good point to note, is that if removing engine bolts from left side you will have to remove gearbox to get the last one out as it's blocked by the gearbox casing. Not a problem for me as I was removing gearbox as well, but could be awkward if your hoping not to.
Removed engine as whole as I'll break it down seperately ready for the refurb along with gearbox.
next to come of will be front forks and rear wheel set up...
