The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop trans front bearing removal

You cannot pull the maindrive gear out without tearing down the whole trans. But you can pull the bearing. Remove the snap ring from the shaft. If you have a bearing press plate pull the brg.- shaft out far enough to get it clamped around behind the retainer ring. Use agear puller to pull it off. Or you can pull it out aways & put something square behind the ring & hammer on the end of the shaft with a brass drift. Keep increasing the spacers untill it comes off. Watch the ring on the new bearing sometimes they are different from the original.
