Thanks for the info….I’ll build up a wall with JB.
On the other end of the housing, I have 2 more questions.
First question is about the lower pinion bearing. In the parts list, this is #24, and appears to go in as a a unit.
But mine came out in pieces! Loose roller bearings. I pulled the pinion gear, and the needles just rained out down through the shaft!
Assuming my bearing race broke, that’s fine….I can get a new bearing. But how does the old bearing frame come out? Is this a pressed-in piece? I don’t see a way to pull the old frame out.
Second question: This is the oil retainer with the oil seal in it. How does the old seal come out? IS it driven out with drift pins through the holes on the back side?
