Hi BB,

I thought it was a good find. Definitely a keeper. Surprising that the engine has lasted so long without modification. It all seems to be in relatively good nick.

That bearing shield...I knew it wasn't right!
Got if off ok, phew!
Just needed a 3/8 socket and...bingo!
Shield washer on the other side was facing the correct way. It and the bearing slid off easily by hand. Although, I thought they were meant to be a press fit...
