Question I have is what method do you all use in removing the sychros from the inside diameter of the drum? I hate to get medieval on it but there is no way to get behind it and give it a push.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | If you are talking about separating the actual brass segmented ring from the hub, it is normally not removable. If you have bought new brass rings then I guess you will want to remove it. They are attached with what looks like tiny dowels. I don't know how a new one would be secured. I am going by what I have seen on the 38 synchros. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 5,337 | The steel cone is held in with a snap ring.
The brass part is center punched in four spots out into four holes in the drum. To ease remover of these, punch the brass back down through the holes.
