There are three bearings in the main pivot down by the bb - two on drive side, one on nds. Any ideas on how to remove? Can't see from the schematic drawing. Looking in there it seems there is no way of getting anything in to tap them out as it seems smooth all the way through. Any help/tips appreciated!

    You can tap them out with a long thin punch there is a spacer in the middle of the 3 bearings which you can just push up when you angle the punch and work it out from top then bottom of the bearing don't just hit the top or bottom of the bearing as it needs to come out straight

    Cheers camerauk. Could see from the diagram there was some kind of sleeve in there - couldn't see how to get at it. I shall go and fettle - gently!!!
