this is a real pain as im sure you have found

I got one of the metal disks which sit between the clutch plates and put braces across and attached a handle this way the force was spread across all the notches not damaging any of them

Be ware of e clutch basket. I snapped bits off mine. Luckilly I had a spare engine for salvaging parts. I think I welded something up in the end.

Use a rattle gun to shock it off. I dont like the braces either as the basket is quite fragile.

Yes air gun works, but if not have you tried putting it in gear, with the handbrake on.

If it's anything like the blackbird clutch, then all I did was bolt two of the clutch discs together to lock both halves of the basket together. Then put it in gear and put the handbrake on. That was enough to get mine on and off.

Well Just been to Machine Mart and got a cheap Impact gun.

So gona try it in gear with the handbrake on then fire up the gun,

Do you want the cage with the needle rollers from where the outer basket slips over the crank? I have a serviceable one in my pile of useless junk if you want it.

Is that the problem then?
Did you get the nut off?

Yes Got off with the new gun no problem.

Fitted the new basket, much less play on rotation. But still to much movement back and forth, so i think a new bearing is in order.

Thats a great link thanks

Where are the R1 experts?

I'm not, but I've got a feeling that a small, (mm's not microns) amount of forward backward play may be OK on there.
Might be worth getting this confirmeed before you splash out on a bearing unneccessarily
