Nice one! Does anyone have any suggestions/tricks/tips as to how I can remove a stubborn gudgeon pin holding on the end plate at the bottom of the dizzy Shaft? My previous pic also shows a detail of the piece of shim/washer (brittle) that fell out the bottom when replacing the hall sensor. As a resu...

Also because I want to do the job me sen I guess...
