The trouble hasn't even started yet ... wait till you realizes you need that infamous sliding hammer to take off the rotor and that you may have goats ...

After getting a rotor I started by stripping down the motor and saw why you need the famous hammer puller, I tried the method they described in the Haynes manual using a 36mm bar and a m14 1.5 bolt to force it of, didn't work, unable to get hold of a hammer pulley I made one using the m14 bolt welded to a 1ft metal bar with square plate at the end and a sledge hammer head as the pulley, after 2 attempts of it came, after a good clean up its now back up and running. :woohoo:
