    Best off taking the engine out and leaving the box in mate. The box can come out leaving the engine in but its a carry on in my experience

    as above, your best off removing the engine. Its much quicker.

    When I changed my clutch a few months back I thought it would be easier just removing the box by lifting it up through the gap - I was wrong , lost of swearing and fannying about trying to get it lined up again

    As mentioned in other threads the use of the word (balanced) take as within tolerance not balanced to your engine.

    Re: flywheel problems

    If you take the dowel out you will get a bit of adjustment. Is the dowel in the correct place?

    That'll be why it stripped the teeth. Make sure you put one in before you fit the starter motor. You cant really make any adjustment to the starter and you shouldn't need to
