I don't know about the thrust bearings in the kits over here but in the US some are switching to one with plastic parts which seem to wear out pretty quickly. If you get one like that you'd be wise to source an all metal thrust bearing.

Another thing just crossed mt mind. The e-torx bolts at the top of the bell housing should be undone first from what I read. And if you don't have an e-torx bit, e-12 is the size I think, a 10mm socket can be used.

If you don't have any 'e' sockets, use a 12 sided socket not 6 sided! are you changing the spigot bearing too?
