The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline 54 3-speed tranny disassembly

I have read more than a few threads on rebuilding the 3-speed tranny and watched several videos, all were very helpful on the things that they discussed. I have not yet seen anything on the removal of the rear bearing support. I have removed the retaining plug and the diagram in the manual appears to have the support pulled out from the back, but so far the puller that I cobbled using bolts to pull it out are not having any effect. I don't think I am near the breaking point, but I don't want to keep applying torque to it if it's never going to come out that way.

I've attached a picture of the support from the back view, the second picture shows where I pulled the retaining plug and doesn't add much but what the heck. Any advice?

From memory...and I should add it has been a while since I rebuilt one of these...there is a plug you remove. It looks like it has been removed in your second image. Then the bearing support can be removed using a hook-type puller. It won't necessarily be easy. The last one I removed took a good bit of patience. Good luck.

Your on the right track and Jon is right, but they will come out with patience. Here is a picture of what it looks like when its out. Othi g but that retained that you already removed.

Thank you both, I will keep at it now that I don't have to second guess the approach. I appreciate the confidence you have given me to proceed.
