[QUOTE=dysan;464896]you have to stake the nut onto the end of the shaft after torquing it.[QUOTE]

Very stupid question and I should know this, (UKtiffy Will kill me for this) but what is staking, I understand it is some method of locking the nut but how??

Basically hit it with a hammer (my kind of working).

You need a drift, a piece of metal about the same size as the notch (about 5mm wide). Place on area to bend in and whack it with the hammer.

I've just replaced the clutch rod seal in the engine case and noticed the clutch basket was slightly wobbly. Have a look here for a video (IMGP0055 is the clutch basket video) and pics.

I've taken it off and I can't see any wear anywhere. Is a slight wobble normal? There are no abnormal sounds when the engine is running but the gear change is a little clunky.

cheers

ps. in image IMGP0059 the top plate is now fitted correctly in the short slot at the top!
