Trigger, I assume you refer to these instructions... are they incorrect?!?

Matt, the instructions in Haynes and the Shop Manual for the 400/4 are correct. It's the 750 manual that is incorrect, they get their clockwise and anti clockwise round the wrong way 🙄🙄🙄

Thanks Julie! I'll be digging deeper later today - unless I have to drain the oil to access the clutch release bits. In that case, it'll wait until I'm ready to drain the oil for other stuff...

No need to drain oil for that job Matt.
These are the bit you are looking for. And no, the cups that the ball bearings sit in aren't worn, they should be like that 😁😁😁

Thanks Julie! Now that I see how the mechanism works, I understand that those cups aren't worn.
But... I don't see how I can access those parts without removing the whole side cover - doesn't that mean draining the oil? The fill/dipstick hole are part of that cover. I scanned through your engine rebuild thread for clues, but didn't find any...

Ah... I wonder if that's what Julie meant? That job will wait, then, as the side stand is currently off the bike - as is the rear wheel and swing arm! I have plans to drain the oil soon anyway, I'll add the clutch parts to the list for that time...
