How in the he'll do u get it off.tried every wrench I have nothing fits do I have to make my own?
 
Whitworth socket, orginaly when I first done my GB back in the late 70s I used a AF box spanner to fit the nuts but these days I have full set of WW sockets, ring and open spanners, makes life a lot easier having the right tools without forcing the wrong tools on the nuts.

The two outer nuts on the inner cover will need an open end wrench or a thin wall socket. Japanese Kokon sockets in British sizes are relatively inexpensive, strong, and thin walled. A hammer and flat punch may be used to remove the clutch operating lever lockring, but be careful not to destroy it unless you plan on replacing it.
 
I also struggled when I stripped the gearbox recently to play with the reversed camplate.

When I reassembled it, I used some of RGM's reduced hex nuts.

Hopefully next time the job will be a lot easier!!

Rocky Point Cycle can get you as many of the 5/16-26 hex nuts as you like, we also carry 5/16-26 stainless steel dome nuts for the two inner cover studs that express themselves to the outside of the cover.
