Haynes manual covers it, i did a thread on here many years ago also.

Thanks Welshpug,I have a Haynes manual which doesnt go as indepth as that,,I think I have been making the mistake of putting the output shaft bearing on the shaft and then the casing on,then there is no room to put the big circlip on as the bearing is in too far,I reckon I need to put the casing on then slip the bearing on,could that be right?, cheers

Bearing on shaft, when the casing is on lever shaft and gears through the crown wheel slot until the bearing comes back up through the casing to fit the circlip. The shaft and bearings are pinned to the casing by the circlip in one direction and the bolts and washers in the other. 

 

EDIT

 

I think Haynes manual tells you to put CWP and cover on first, I put it on last.
