The shop manual doesnt show a seal between the collar and bearing/bearing and sprocket.

I don't know the answer,

But I have a H4 bulb,in a non standard reflector,

Fitting Cebie or similar used to be an upgrade

Might be worth a PM to Laverda Dave he did a 400 gearbox rebuild earlier this year.

If you mean the part of the shaft where the oil seal sits I'm pretty sure the bearing will come off - just dont heat it and destroy the O ring.

Ill have to dig my vice out from the garage. I didn't think of clamping the bearing. I didn't want to damage it too much but I think that's the only way.

My 500 headlamp is  a standard UK style 7" unit.
It has the three lugs similar to those on the old sealed beam headlights.

I fitted a Land Rover Defender 90 type LED headlamp unit but pretty much any old style 7" headlamp will fit.

How to remove the output bearing.

Remove the gear next to to bearing, fit the shaft loosely in a vice so not to mark it and allow it to move and knock the bearing off the shaft so that it moves away from the collar, once it moves a little it will come off easily. Protect the end of the shaft when hitting it. Once off there is a really thin oring fitted between the bearing and the collar, on no account try to remove the collar unless it’s ruined. Do not under any circumstances insert anything between the bearing and the collar.

I've added the picture, it didn't work at first.

I don't think the bearing first over the collar? The collar seems to be bigger than the bearing.

Its the collar that I cant seem to remove. I've not tried heating it up yet, I'm going to try later.

Iirc there is an O ring between that collar and the gears so heat would ruin that.
