Hey guys I am trying to get this gearset apart and ma having issues with the bearing on the left hand side in front of the cuff. What are you guys using to assist you in taking these parts off without damaging them? Thanks for the help in advance!

 

may be a dumb question, did you take the nut off first?

 

Yes i Did take the nut off, no such thing as a dumb question, this is how the gearset looked when i pulled it out. IT looks nearly identical because that bearing wont come out very easily.

 

Wish I could help you, but I dont touch transmissions. got guys at the shop for that

 

Ive broken the outer race and had issues before, but I dont see any tell tale issues in your pics.

Mine usually come right off.

Be nice to it, but not so nice it thinks youre trying to **** it. Be MEAN and let it KNOW you want to **** it. Works for me in situations like this.

Every time..

LOL

 

So this is how you deal with all those trannies.

 

only way he deals with trannies. well he talks dirty to them too.


"ya, take that you dirty ****, ya!"

 

Yeah thats what a lot of people say is that everything is supposed to slide off nicely, but it its not working properly with this trans. any insight?

 

Take it to a shop to have pressed off? What's wrong with the tranny, that may help a little?

 

i always use two big flat heads, one on either side, or a couple of pry bars. you usually cant just pull it off with your hands.

 

wow! prybars, flatheads ect? crazy....

Take the nut off and and smack the snub of the pinion shaft down on a block of wood, sometimes comes off in one light hit, sometimes takes a few good wacks.

 

well it depends on if i am pulling the shaft and everything out of the case. Ive done the tapping on wood method too. But pry bars work great, it doesn't take much force.

 

Smack end on wood method FTW.

 

Rubber hammer.

 

I tap the end of the countershaft on the concrete, and it usually comes right off..

 

This. Although, Ive never had a cuff, so its a lot easier only holding one shaft, rather than 2.

 

thats what she said.

 

A tranny is not a she, sir.

 

Tap it on wood. It wont hurt the cuff. Youll be fine sir.

 

I use a press..

 

This. Just recently did work on both my cars transmissions and used this method.

 

hahahahahaha that was funny.... GL taking the bearing out

 

Yeah, tap it on wood. You can also get some large thin flat tire irons used for changing motorcycle/dirt bike tires that are very thin and slide inbetween the bearings and those work well too.

 

seems like you've got enough input on this, but you can support it and tap on the countershaft. you don't need to press it by any means, but that would work also. just a little tap.

 

oh man, i can see the tags for this thread already!!

tranny, nut, shaft, rubber hammer, wack and beat it off,just a little tap,got guys for that,wood,screwdriver , pull it off with your hands!!
