7-B Continued: Counter Shaft Bearings Removal
Well I had a brainstorm today and tried it. Had a puller from AutoZone tool loaner program. The claws were too big to fit but if I ground them down and inserted them sideways, they fit. I could then rotate them into place and screw them back onto the body of the puller.
AZ Loaner no more
Ground off a bit
After grinding a pair I was able to pull the countershaft bearings right off. It made the claws weaker but to enough to be defeated by these bearings.
Puller ready. Input side bearing
Socket used to turn puller
At first it pushed the output bearing out while pulling from the input side, then the input pulled out.
Pushed the output out a bit first
Then Input started coming out
Free at last
Worked on the Output bearing next.
Output
Bearing in 2 parts
Counter Shaft Output side
Had to strap on the 3rd leg to get the input bearing all the way off the shaft once it left the case.
