Also for anyone thats thinking thinking about it, replacing the stator is an absolute arse of a job 😔 just started it but going to have to finish it tomorrow. For a start the the 3 bolts holding it into the engine case have been put in with factory loctite and as such do not like to be undone (so that was a 15 minute job trying to get them out) and then after finally getting them undone I realised its going to be a complete tank off job to get access too the old cable/plug and be able to reroute the new one 🙄
Then as another annoyance, the old gasket is a ball ache to get off too. I spend 20 minutes with a Stanley blade trying to get it all off.
All in all a lot of effort for something I may have not needed to do (I cleaned up the magnets on the old one and turns out they aren't damaged 🤷♂️)
But as with all this kind of stuff if your going to go to the effort of doing it, you may aswell do it all properly to save having to do it again
