It's demolished.... parts missing, some crushed.... the e-shaft itself looks perfectly fine... the tranny shaft is fine but the bearing is ALL messed up!

What would be the best way to go about getting it out? Get a dremel in there and cut it away while not hurting the e-shaft?



tia, Chris

 

at your local parts store theyre is a slide hammer/puller,looks simuliar to the old auto body slide hammer/puller ,its used on cylinder heads, i think to pull valve guides or seats or something like that. it slides into the p. bearing and when you turn the handle it expands at the end to fit,then you slide the hadle back and like a hammer it bangs it out

 

it was to late to edit i got mine at pepboys,so if there is a store there they had it in stock

 

both ways will work ,cover your eyes when grinding the hard metal into

 

we would pack grease into trans shaft hole, fill tight with steel/wood rod, shack, force out from rear using the grease to push out,,,,,,,Carter

 

Thanks for the replys guys... I was wondering. How hard is it to break one of those tools? I don't want to have to go through a ton of them.... trust me... this thing is DEMOLISHED in there.... I got a better look once I got some new batterys for my mag. I have a feeling it's stuck to the e-shaft very good! *shrug*

Thanks.... I'll see what it costs to rent/buy the tool. (I saw the one on mazdatrix for $117 ...)

 

This is the way I've always done it too. It works very well. But yours might be too damaged to use this technique. You basically pack the whole thing with grease, find a steel rod that just barely fits into the pilot bearing hole, and smack it with a hammer. The force on the grease will push the pilot bearing out.

 

I used a slide hammer as stated above. Had it for years, but purchase the spreader from Pep Boys. Your total cost shouldn't exceed @ $65/70. After speading the jaws, I had to really tighten them down to get the race out as the bearing at first just broke apart.
Good Luck

 

That is the technique that the guy fixing the syncros in my tranny said. After looking in there really good w/ a flashlight that woln't work.... too many impurites in that destroyed bearing.... I think I'm just going to try and cut it out *carefully*.

I might give the tool a shot first tho.

Thanks guys!

 

I've used a dremel to grind it out before. Just take your time and grind that thing out.

 

ive used mine hundreds of times w/out failure(slide hammer),
