Help me get rid of my mid-controls "stub" on the primary

If I had everything open, I'd throw in a new belt and primary chain. Also a new primary chain guide shoe. Also check the sprockets and pulleys for wear and replace as needed. Otherwise, I have found that I can safely run the rear belt to ten years or 85,000 miles, whichever comes first. Maybe it will go longer, but at some point it's not worth the worry to me.

Once you get the otter primary off, you will see that there is a tube that connects to the inner primary with one bolt. Remove that bolt and the tube that the shaft runs through will come loose but still be connected due to the shaft. You can either cut the shaft or pull the inner primary to remove it. You will need one of these to plug the whole inside.

I very much doubt the primary chain and sprockets will need replacing, doing that is borderline OCD......especially with only 45K......
I would do the belt and all the tranny/primary seals while I was in there though....use the new Carbon Fibre belt, you can tell which they are because they have no grooves on the outside.

Changing the seals is just good insurance. They are cheap and you never know what might happen to them during the disassembly/reassembly process.
