Great vid guys. Cool to watch someone who makes it look easy. This is
internet useage at its' best.

Learned some new stuff I wish I had done when rebuilding the clutch
housing on my AC Westy. (also replaced pilot bearing, seals etc. etc.
while in there). i.e. like checking end play. No assumptions should be
made. Like assuming PO had had things done correctly!

Thanks!

Neil.
