bluespanner Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'm about to replace an LT230 transfer box for a friend on his 110. I reckon i'm capable, only thing i was wondering is do you have to remove the input gear in the transfer box or will the transfer box just slide off the gearbox intact?

Aragorn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Personally i'd remove the gear. Its simple enough to do, and means you have more manoeuvrability once the box is off the dowels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewy1984 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i used white90's method of 4 180mm long bolt's with the heads cut off, to help slide the box off. so you clear the shaft. there's a post with pictures here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Remove the gear - thats easy and then it makes removing the box nice and easy as Aragorn says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 & when you refit the gear make sure it goes in the correct way round, make a note/photo/drawing as you extract the gear, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluespanner Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ok sounds good to me. Am i going to need a special tool to get this gear out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Ok sounds good to me. Am i going to need a special tool to get this gear out? Nope. Just take off the pto cover, remove the two torx head screws from the bearing carrier, will probably need to gently tap out the bearing carrier - be careful not to damage it and then pull out the gear. It sometimes helps to rock the prop gently as you withdraw the gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 like in these photo's. 1. start with rear of transfer box at the PTO cover 2.PTO cover removed, then find the 2 screws that secure the carrier, may not be any screws depending on transfer box age] 3. all the bits removed 4. the tail end of the main gearbox mainshaft, check the splines are in top condition.

Ex Member Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I wouldn't. Seems like extra work for no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I wouldn't. Seems like extra work for no purpose. It only takes 10 mins and allows you to check if the input gear is cross drilled or not if you're re-using the box. It also goves you better manouvreability to wiggle the heavy lump around and get it off of the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 doesn't add much in time to the remove/refit, & makes the TB a bit lighter to move about & less chance of damaging the rear of the mainshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
