next step (slow but sure lol)
The bits came off ok.. much easier than I remember on the `L` crf250.
the oil was surprisingly dirty for about 6000 miles. and there seemed to be a small amount of it, compared to my memory of the `L` ?? but that could me just me? I will be using a cheap Halfords oil that is over 10 years old. Nothing but the best eh?
But at least I bought a new oil filter .. the old one was surprisingly dirty for less than 6000 miles? .. and I shall replace the oil with fresh stuff after a while.
when i did the `L` there were bits falling out everywhere, which made things harder than they should have been, but this time the dowels and balls bearing thing seemed to have stayed on place, though it was difficult to see as it was getting low light outside due to the storm brewing, and my torch was just blinding, with the cold Welsh rain spattering my back, under my (partly flooded) bike tent, lol.
I was sure i could re-use the gaskets, as i had with the `L` but the Rally ones just ripped off. I will use my old unused `new` `L` ones, which can't be much more than 8 years old.
The friction plates looked superficially ok but the silly slipper one was quite worn, as expected.

I put some oil on the friction plates and put them in a plastic bag, ready to fit. I've got to get that slipper ring out too. tooth pick found, and ready.
.. to be continued.. hopefully.
