groundhog47 347 #1 Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Similar to a 5091 Trans from my sparse knowledge, how do you best remove the needle bearings from the two gears that ride on the input shaft and holds 1st/2nd and 3rd gears (appear to be WH part #1518, needle bearings) and needle bearings in reduction gear (??7207). Numbers may be inside or erroded away. Any help appreciated. Screwdrivers point to gears mentioned. I know 1st/2nd reversed as may be the one the reduction slider works on. Just quickly threw back together!! Edited December 3, 2013 by groundhog47 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted December 4, 2013 That bearing can be a ***** to remove. The way to attack it is similar to removing the pilot bearing in the center of a flywheel in an automotive clutch. First attempt - I pack the bearing and the recess with grease and insert a close fitting piece of round bar which I hit with a hammer in an attempt to "hydraulic" the bearing out. This has often worked for me. Second attempt - An expanding mandrel on a slide hammer, similar to these ones: http://www.harborfreight.com/blind-hole-bearing-puller-95987.html Last resort - remove the needles and attempt to collapse the bearing shell with a punch/screwdriver etc (all the time being careful not to damage the bore the bearing sits in). If this is unsuccessful I'll grind the shell a little to weaken it enough to allow it to collapse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
