[QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1498752, member: 29749"] [b]Countershaft gear removal with steel tube and a press[/b] When you are at the stage of removing the countershaft gears from the intermediate housing, let me caution you on one thing: the manual says to use hooks to attach to the cross cast aluminium arms and extract the race and gears from the shaft. For me, that's not such a good idea. Pulling up on one of those cast arms will break something eventually and that Intermediate housing isn't cheap. So I devised a safer method of pressing the gear and race off by using my 20 ton press and a steel cylinder I bought from a local supplier that is a schedule 40, 6" x 18" ($50.00). I put a piece of foam cushion in the bottom of the tube, lowered the entire countershaft gear set into the tube, placed two pieces of 1 x 1 steel bar under the Intermediate housing (spreads the load around), and mounted the entire assembly in the press. Viola!! The dude came out liked greased goose crap. This really helped with other gears and removal, but this was significant. Nothing was damaged, which is the point. Others may scoff at this, but it worked very well for me; I'll do it again this way. [/QUOTE]
