Had another go tonight .. made a 5 foot long extension bar and heated the retainer as hot as I dare without damaging the cush drive , still no luck . Only thing I can think of now is it to locally heat the retainer by mig welding the top (high power mig at work) or just machine it out and buy a new one. Getting pi@@ed of with it now .. it has to be the worst job by a mile to do on any Honda I have ever owned.

How about cutting a slice out with a dremel. The thickness oof the kerf should be enough to loosen it. I shifted a bearing shell like that.

Yes ....not a bad idea Mike.. Think I am just going to get a repro retainer from Silvers for 24 quid unless anyone on here has one to sell me.
Came home fed up after struggling in the freezing cold with the retainer on my own, so decided to do a few jobs that are totally within my comfort zone. Stripped switches, look fine. I have reels of the correct sleeving for both sides from way back. Will bead blast the housings and then paint and bake with PJ1 satin black, then light polish with Solvol. I know renowned, top-notch restorers who use this method. Got spare parts as I just got repro Yamiya switches for my 750K0 and some parts are common but all contacts ect look fine and PVC wiring is still soft. Original black sleeving was toast.
Bars look OK and would look fine if cleaned up but taking them tomorrow with kickstart etc. to get the plating stripped, then I am going to polish and then get rechromed.
Repaired the one broken lug on one of the side panels... have to get it over to Menno Dek next week with the other side and the tank. Just love Candy Jade Green. Used the patent Ashimoto repair 2-pack adhesive mixture.
YES Pete it's the kitchen worktop again and she saw me doing it. She didn't moan .. just asked where her cuppa was ! After all these years I think she's given up and accepted it :D

Mix this stuff below :- with 50/50 ground ceramic powder/aluminium powder until its the consistency of soft butter. Bond the two surfaces together with it (immerse the container in boiling water so the adhesive flows' ( it takes yonks to cure at room temperature) put the excess in a container in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer (don't tell the missus :D) Once cured up ( about 24 hors) take epoxy mix out of freezer and 'defrost' then build up behind the joint with the defrosted 'putty'. Wear disposable gloves !When hardened, fully post cure at about 65°C for about an hour until it cures rock hard. Sand down to correct contour. Trade secrets ... blah .. tell everyone, that's my motto.
