All of the outer casings are now sprayed and fitted. I went to fit the sump, then realised that I still had to fit the coolant tube that goes through the sump. Following a read of someone's else's problem when they nicked an O ring, I have decided to fit the tube first, making sure that the O rings are where they should be before wrapping up the bottom end. 

Well, you’ve certainly been a busy boy. I presume you drilled the stud out ok, as I was going to suggest a gadget that I’ve got. It looks like a drill chuck with flats on the outside, and gets screwed on anti clockwise. As it’s tightened with a spanner the internal jaws grip the stud and unscrew it, usually with a high success rate.
