tonycougar Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Does anyone know if its possible to replace the front output shaft bearing with the box in situ? I don't fancy taking the box out to do it. I know Les has produced a how to for the rear one, but the front looks a bit more complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonycougar Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks fellas, thought I'd seen something somewhere. Gus, It looks like you have removed the whole ouput shaft to do it. Is that what you did? Does it go back in easy enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gus Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Gus,It looks like you have removed the whole ouput shaft to do it. Is that what you did? Does it go back in easy enough? Yes tonycougar, the bearing is fixed to the shaft, not to tranfer. You can remove it without problem pulling, like you can see in the photo. It is very easy.

Would I need to buy new shims or just use the original ones and replace the oil seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I need to buy new shims or just use the original ones and replace the oil seal. And what about setting up the pre-load? The manual says you need to wrap string around a shaft select high or low gear then check the pre-load with a spring balance (This is all with the box on the bench).

It is very easy. Thanks Gus, very useful post. Just a question, do you have any images of the rear output shaft and bearing + speedo drive? I've dismantled mine 5 Months ago and am now in the process of fitting back together. For some reason the speedo drive is a loose fit on the shaft + can slide for about one cm. Should it be like that y/n? Cheers Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
