Found play in rear wheel, following forum info determined it was the swing arm bearings.

Easy, heated adjuster nut, removed lock nut and after more heat set small torque wrench below 10nm so as not to stress threads.

Moved bush in and out and threads from casing came out as well!

From what I can see on diagrams the threaded casing is part of the gearbox?

Any one know if there is a 'fix' or is it a new gearbox? If so,what sort of money am I looking at? :(
 
Gave up looking at it and had it collected by the local BMW dealer. Was told between £10 and £1,500!

Had a call today and looks like it can be rethreaded :thumb
