Split case needle bearing inside shaft dimensions please (1 Viewer)

[Chris Wilcox]

Does anybody know the dimensions of the needle bearing inside the shaft on the split case transfer case (1987-1990). I'd like to make or buy a puller for it before I start the job of rebuilding my TC.
Thanks,

created the holy grail thread on rebuilding the transfer case.
His post below on that thread might be the answer you're looking for.

some h55f and split case tech

Ok, now I know I need the oiler cup. And I don't have one. So this plastic thingy is going to stop the rebuild? Or shall I proceed? Another thing, input seal. I got the kit from George, seal that fits is .04 thicker. And a different design. New on the right.

Use a clutch pilot bearing puller. Takes 30 seconds.

If you don't have a puller you can also use a small flat head screw driver to remove the needles then a die grinder/ Dremel tool to grind a slit NEARLY through the outer shell, then the flat head to collapse the outer case and remove. If you don't have steady hands may not want to try this method.

Perfect, Thanks, exactly what I needed, there is a puller locally for $30 that should do the trick.
