Yep, thats out Bryan. Its solid with no 'bounce' if it was stuck on the rubber cush drive - its a metalic feeling through the bar as I shock the sprocket.

There are also some videos on YT too I was told.I tired, but gave up as it was not absolutely necessaryThere's also a flip side to this if it's seized, it will give a very hard time to the primary drive system inside the engine and particularly the chain. Relates to your other thread about engine noise Erny.

If parts are worn, IF, I'd expect play sideways. My drive flange was seriously worn. I was much helped by Oddjob. I have documented it here: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=150358.0 Just skip that post by SoyBoySigh posted there. He's nuts.

When I had a a couple apart a few years ago I had trouble sourcing new rubbers and they still seem hard to come by but DSS has one set ATM.Soy Boy no longer with us.https://necrocanada.com/obituaries-2018/silas-benjamin-moses-ginn-july-27-1973-august-31-2018-age-45/#.W5k6yvZFyaESorry - didn't see this post when I post last post

He's nuts.If it had sideways movement, it would not be stuck Stuck is rusted or seized to the hub. Have you not read the thread to realize what the problem is.
Great explanation and advice everybody - I always change cush drive rubbers normally (which is why I was trying to get sprocket carrier off). Now I have to figure out how to get it off! If the seizure is between the inner vertical face of the sprocket carrier and the hub centre (where the cush drive rubber nipples stick through into the brake area)? Is that where I should apply heat?K2-K6 - no, unfortunately I haven't got access to a slide hammer but will make some kind of jig
Ironically (and don't shout at me!) I think I threw a spocket carrier away
