I was able to complete a couple of more disassembly tasks before I stopped working on it for today. I also learned something during the process.
Lesson/Things learned
I should have left the driveshaft flange on the output shaft before I removed the large threaded plug underneath the dust cap which sits just below the input shaft in the bellhousing. I didn’t do this and when I went to remove the threaded plug, the output and countershafts just spun. I ended up having to reinstall the ds flange back onto the output shaft and use the holding tool that prevents the output shaft from spinning. Problem solved, but not before damaging the Allen portion of the threaded plug. I’ll replace it with a new one upon reassembly.
The second thing I learned was what the backside of the large counterweight looks like. I’ll be deleting this and replacing it with a Calimer block off plate.
Specialty tools needed during these few steps were as follows:
- DS flange holder (to hold flange while removing the 30MM nut which bolts the flange to the output shaft)
- 30MM deep well socket (to remove ds flange nut)
- Slide hammer (to remove dust cover that sits over top of the large threaded plug in bellhousing)
- 12MM Allen socket (to remove large threaded plug behind dust cover in bellhousing)
- 3 jaw puller (to remove ds flange)
