Call it a fiver towards P+P, payment by Paypal is easiest, and fitting is straightforward but you'll need to remove the flywheel/alternator rotor.
This needs a puller, 22mm thread, which you could probably hire for the day from a Honda main dealer, or post on here and see if you can borrow one- Benny might be a good place to start....
And you'll probably want to have an alternator gasket ready, and of course the tricksy large crankshaft inspection cover on the alternator cover itself, which often need to persuaded with a lump hammer.

Oil will need to come out, (you can just about get away with leaning it over on it's RH side, but any bits of dirt you drop go into the engine, so I'd suggest draining oil and putting new stuff in, with a new filter, while you're there.

Couple of hours, easy.

yes i have a flywheel extractor bolt.
it's m22 x 1.5 pitch right hand thread. dont try any other method as you will fail miserably.
you could look on ebay - search m22x1.5 and theres a few options.
failing that let me know and you can borrow mine but i will be needing it back!

chances are the sprags just need cleaning up... the actual sprag roller assembly is quite cheap from honda .
(thats the bit that wears)
look on the expanded parts fiche in the workshop section and then enter the oem part number into wemoto or cmsnl for a price.

*just a tip: replace your battery. preferably for an uprated one.
starting with a weak battery can damage the sprag clutch... thats probably what's done the damage.

if you are going for the complete set off tony.mon, why not get the flywheel as well and get it turned down to the dimensions in the 'lightened flywheel' thread.... makes it very lively :)
