Re: Input shaft bearing replacement Quick question though, can I use the rear nuts again or do they need to be replaced?

Re: Input shaft bearing replacement Quote: I would have liked to have done all of the work myself, but I don't have a bearing puller OR a press. C'est la vie...
You don't need either. Two large screwdrivers will usually remove the bearings. Tap the new ones on with a suitable drift.

Re: Input shaft bearing replacement Are you sure about that? I've always had to use a puller since the fit is rather tight.  p.s. The inner race of one of the old bearings makes a suitable drift... knightley wrote: Quote: I would have liked to have done all of the work myself, but I don't have a bearing puller OR a press.

Re: Input shaft bearing replacement Yes, I saw it done by Christian at the World meeting in Salbris. Rick was rebuilding our gearbox. He was having trouble, but Christian, being taller and chunkier, managed it with ease. Diff was held in a vice. ken wrote: Are you sure about that?

Re: Input shaft bearing replacement Loctite on both nuts as well, considering how many of the factory built gearboxes have those nuts just wobbling around when a gearbox is opened up. About 90% of them, in my experience, or maybe 91%, since the one I started today had a double fail...

If so, i had a lot of crap come out from there too as I was cleaning - flakes of what seems like old gearbox oil and tiny metal grains compressed to a paste. It mostly just disintegrated when i tried to pick it up.  Sorry for the late reply, but yes that is exactly what I meant.
