Grind the nut off! Or use a jack to jack up your breaker bar.

Jack under a breaker bar then. Jack up the breaker bar so it goes in an anticlockwise direction while jacking up breaker bar. Or $20 from Bunnings for a grinder.

Score! Looks like the clutch is basically brand new dude, plenty of meat on it. Got yourself a bargain there.
I also love the stock gauges with the stainless surround, wouldnt opt the 'fto mivec' on it myself but it looks good nonetheless

Yeah, awesome bargain. Cheers Taz
And yeah, I was tossing up between FTO GPX and FTO MIVEC or just FTO. They all looked so good

Overall very happy with the steel plate. Quality!

Hey Fraz, wanna earn another case of beer?
All you gotta do is a full engine rebuild and manual conversion for me

considering that the clutch alone would set you back 350 odd dollars, yea i thought it was too
Pretty sure everything there is needed for the conversion, if not let us know and ill source it for you

Didnt i send you both the brake and clutch pedal? What other pedal do you need?
And a shifter you can pick up anywhere for cheap these days.
Even just the box you got a pretty good deal

You did. I mean just the little rubber and or metal grip plates on the bottom (the part that you actually rest your foot on) that need to be stuck onto the bottom of the lever.
Both shifter and pedal plates (whats the actual name for them?

) are easy to get.

Small update. Currently pulling the camshafts out at the moment..
I believe theyre called the camshaft bearing caps - I have all the bolts out, although I'm struggling to get them off. I dont particularly want to start bashing them with a hammer (unless thats actually how youre meant to do it

) Is there some trick to it or do I just need to take a hammer and wood to them?
Edit - Also, am I able to just pull the lead/cord from the oil control valve off or does it need to stay on? It looks like its meant to stay on, and its also still attached in the pictures in the manual, so I have left it together. Just wondering if I can take it off with no issues?

Mate leave that wire alone that's the last thing u want to break hahaha as for camshafts I believe hammer and wood will be fine but only tap at it because it's been so tight for so long they need so help

plus they all sit on another bit u will see what I mean when u get it off
zero to mivec not long
