Thanks Dave

Re: Clutch
You have to remove the square headed bolt from the cross-shaft and spin the clutch fork round it. Which, of course, you can't do because some muppet welded it all up!
You're gonna have to scrap the clutch fork and cross shaft and cut it all out with an angle grinder. No other option!

Re: Clutch
Sorry, my mistake, I just rest it loosely in a vise, bearing uppermost and tap the carrier out with an appropriate sized socket.
To replace I rest the bearing on a bit of wood and tap the carrier in with a leather mallet. Try to hit it dead center and not too hard, the carrier is sintered bronze and very brittle. It's beyond easy to chip a bit off!
