McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
And the casing has been separated a tad ahead of schedule.
A bit of a wrangle getting the primary shaft out of the casing but managed in the end with minimum violence.

People seem to think that to replace the primary drive rubbers you need to remove the 3 large countersunk JIS screws but in actual fact you don't. As soon as you remove the circlip it will come apart.

Noted Ken along with your other words of wisdom.

Sharp rap on a piece of softwood will separate the primary drive to access the rubbers. This is where it gets interesting as many report the rubbers as being as hard as marble, but my 1977 17k miles example was as soft as originally installed, which is by the way not ‘soft’, just ‘compliant’. I replaced mine anyway as a matter of course. They ain’t cheap. That primary drive looks past its best by the way…..
