the 620 clutch cover is the same than the latest 600, and I think there should be 13 bolts not 10...

Then a rubber hammer and you're done.

You out and about again then ?? Hope the move went well. Did you see my reply to your post on the stickers thread ? Still no U2U or email so not sure if you are still having email probs ??.

Thanks for the ideas guys, you were right Tim - if in doubt get a bigger hammer ... last night I managed to borrow a big hide mallet and that did the trick after a few whacks around the cover (it was explained to me that the rubber mallet 'bounces' off the case, whereas the hide mallet almost 'stops dead' on contact with the case and so passes the force onto the case instead of kicking back), case was held on with threebond type stuff (no paper gasket). Checked all the all the plates and they were fine and the basket had no groves in it as well, so no problems there. Off to Baines later to pickup a paper gasket to make it easier in future. As for the unusal clutch noise I think I need to compare mine to others at the same time, in case I'm being paranoid
