lol, sorry.

Well when i opened it up and pulled the shoes off one of the pins that held a shoe in place came off with the shoe ( i'm using aluminium shoes ). One or more of the shoes had gotten stuck to the CB and would not disengage. It happened quickly enough that i didn't realise what was going on with an end result of a stuffed engine which i can fix when i can pump a few $$$ back into it.

Clutch bell is fine, the bearings were brand new ( protek rubber shielded 10 for 9.95 off Amain )

For the record i do periodic maintenance on the shoes and had just done so during the week prior to this happening.
