Ok, it sounds like the thing to do is open up the rear cover to 22mm.
I'm not
sure what to call them but I have the inner & outer pieces that go on
each
side of the needle bearing on the five speed. The outer piece on the
four
speed is flat, whereas the outer piece for the needle bearing has a
shaft
sticking out, does this shaft need to be machined flat?

Yes, it does need to be machined flat, and you'll have to use carbide to
do it. That sucker is HARD! You can turn it down in a lathe and/or have
somebody grind the thing smooth for you. BTW, order up a new o-ring for
the outer plunger.
