Everything cleaned up beautifully,considering the crap that was on it!,all bearings have been replaced,and new nuts and washers fitted.
Shimming the gearbox was a doddle,the original shims were cleaned and re fitted as a guide,and would you believe it,they were all spot on and well within tolerance,so happy days :D ,everything turns as smooth as silk :D :D
