Hi grumpy

Thanks for your suggestion. It worked, the hub is in.
However my (more like our) little adventure continues. Sometimes its easier to climb to the top of the mountain than returning down.

I am not too sure how the PCV mechanism works. From the name I am assuming it controls the oil pressure. Setting that aside I now have a challenge with the big clutch spring. I don't seem to have strength with my left hand to compress the spring to insert the clutch cable into slot. I have the cable in its anchor at the handlebar end , but have loosened the top nut to give it slack. Is my feeble left arm the culprit, or am I missing something else?

Also, because the spring contraption just fell apart when I took the cable off I am not sure that I am doing this properly. See pic

Firstly I have a pair washers (spring plus flat - red oval in pic) and I have no idea where it goes (foolish me). The left end of the rod with the sleeve (see pic) sits on the mounted bracket. The right end of the spring rests on the moving arm of clutch lever. If I look at the rod that goes inside the spring the right end has hole in it and is dirty (blue arrow). I am not sure what holds the the right end of the spring in place (beside pressure) since it seems to just resting on the lever. Also I am not sure what the hole is for. And I am assuming that when the spring is compressed and the cable is in place, the end of the rod is dirty because it sticks out.

Hoo boy, kurb
