Peaklander Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hi all. Working through a number of jobs on my 1996 110CSW 300 TDi with R380 and LT230. One has been to check the transfer box input gear spline wear. I have this box - 22D515445F which being a later box (i presume from the year and the 'F') as far as I know will have the later cross drilling. So I removed the PTO cover (bolts had massive threadloc on them) and rocked to and fro and there's no wear as far as I can tell, between the input shaft and the gear. Whilst I was there I thought that I may as well pull the gear out (just for a closer look at splines etc.) and to confirm the drilling. So I removed the bearing support plate which only needed a little help. Thought that would be all and that the gear would just pull put backwards - but it gets stuck against the other gear (intermediate?). Is this correct and I can't take it out or is there some technique to move the prop or something just to allow the gears to clear? I realise that if the box is the later type with the cross drill then I don't need to inspect further - however I'm underneath and why not?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 You will need to turn the gear slightly, Probably by rotating a propshaft due to the gear teeth being cut in a Helix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Ok thanks - I'll give it a go in the morning. It's a technique thing then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Jacked a rear wheel up and it slipped out easily with a little turn of the prop. All's OK there with the cross drilling and nice splines. So I'm closing-up and it's oil change time (that's why I'm underneath on such a nice day - with the hills temporarily white for the second day running).
