Actonhorse 26 #1 Posted April 5, 2011 I have been searching the transmission section and have seen lots of rebuilds that have been helping alot. I am rebuilding the 5060 trans out of my 1067. I tried to flush it several times and the gear oil kept getting nice and milky after about 1/2 hour or working so I decided once the snow stopped to clean it out. I have it all torn down and cleaned and am ready to put it back together. My problem is that the needle bearings in the ends of the axle stubs won't come clean and are fairly pitted from the tractor running without seals on them for quite some time and need to be replaced. I have found them but am not quite sure how they are removed... Can anyone give me a good idea how to get them out without damaging the case? Here is a pic as I know how much you all love them!

racinfool40 202 #3 Posted April 5, 2011 What I do is-- Since there junk anyways I take a small screw driver and drive it between the bearing and the trans case and collapse the bearing in on it self..Take a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out.. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH854 44 #4 Posted April 5, 2011 If I did it I would find me a 8 or 10 inch piece of plastic pipe that would fit inside the roler bearing and drive it out(might work, might not) Chas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgjks6 6 #5 Posted April 5, 2011 I used a scoket on an extension. I was small enough to fit through, buit big enough to push it out. Also you can use it put the new bearing in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
