Limax - You've just made my day.
So potentially, with a new oil seal, it should be fine?
My concern was that the oil seal used that to seat, but if it uses the larger outer edge to seat, then as you say it shouldn't be a huge problem anyway.
Also helps with the ball bearing - So basically, if i push the new rod on in, as far as it'll go, it should stick out around 32mm, if its closer to the 24-25mm mark with it stationary as it is, then the bearing has gone?
How does the bearing fit? obviously if i don't have to drop the oil and remove the clutch cover, i'd rather not and so this solution makes sense.
I was simply under the impression that the oval hole was what seats the seal and left me basically screwed - the back of the hole still looks round, its actually just the face that seems ovaled.
In short, replace all the clutch rod, seal and so on, stick it back together and it should be fine?
