Ed,
That is what I ended up doing to the upper ringnut (on the clutch shaft), an air wrench. Then just bent the tab to keep it from backing out. I feel safe enough.
The lower ring-nut on the tranny input shaft just kept turning and turning. I think the nut being of soft metal is giving, so I stopped. Bent the tab back to keep it in place and called it good enough. Come to think of it, on the way out, the old ring nut came off very easy after the tabs were bent up. So, I think that problem was there before. |

Put the transmission in first gear. If that fails use an air wrench. |

I am buttoning up the clutch housing and all. First lesson learned: Take better notes when you do the removal, because the parts book does not list details as to which side of the gear goes in toward the clutch side. That little mishap took me 2 hours to figure out after the engine refused to turn by hand. Grhhhh.
Question for the team: How do you hold the shaft while torquing it to 200 Nm? I tried the "stuff the rag" method and the rag got in there and refused to come back out afterward. So off came everything.
I am inclined to use my impact wrench, and bend the tab down to keep it from coming back out, and call that good enough. Comments? |
