Have had visitors at my house for several days - couldn't get to the Transmission.
In trying to get set up to pull the
Gears and
Bearings off of the Shafts, I had to
figure out a way to hold the Shafts upright.
I finally figured out a way to hold them w/o damaging them.
We'll see if this works......taking off the Input Shaft "R" Bearing....
This Ball Bearing has the number 6204 on it.
Everything wants to
turn while I torque off the Bearing....!
Finally the center bolt started to turn easily as the Bearing "Broke Loose - Let Go" and came off.
The next thing will be to pull off the "5th Gear Spacer" and the "L" Bearing (
has the number 6206 on it)
on the other end of the Input Shaft as per page 7A-22 shown beside the Shaft in the picture.
I found that the Gear & Bearing Puller has inadequate length bolts to accommodate
the gears and bearings on this little car's transmission shafts !
WHY ?
So, as
Way already said in his thread on rebuilding this transmission,
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=934930
I had to go out and buy
longer bolts....
Note that I bought 5/8 inch Nuts to use as "Spacers" on the 1/2 Bolt.
Whatever the
Chinese used for 1/2 inch Bolts in
this Puller Kit are not threaded either American or Metric !
No nut at the store would thread onto them....(?)
More to come...onward !
