Well I haven't updated this for a while, Have still been a little ****ed off decided I need to concentrate on something else before I go mad
![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So this is what I've been doing over the last few weeks.
Not strictly related to this thread but thought I'd stick it here anyway.
First job was a transfer box rebuild for a friend.
I forgot to get pictures all the way through but it was a scruffy looking thing to start with.
Actually some picture seem to have disappeared
Started cleaning a few bits up.
Not perfect but a darn sight better than they where.

And finished(ish)
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Need some new bolts for the pto cover seen as the rest are.

So with that finished I decided I'd try and rebuild an lt77 I had lying around that had wear on the main shaft (output splines)
So this is what I started with.

Removed the extension casing with it on the floor, But then though why not stick it on the bench :doh:
[/URL][/IMG]
Removed bell housing, Stuck it in vice and removed casing.
(Yep theirs loads of pics missing as I forgot
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
)

Lifted pinion shaft off.
[/URL][/IMG]
And the lay shaft.
[/URL][/IMG]
Removed main shaft assembly and left with a bare(ish) casing.
[/URL][/IMG]
Everything appeared to be very clean. Much to my surprise.
[/URL][/IMG]
Removed one of the bearings on the main shaft with a puller.
[/URL][/IMG]
The other one, The pullers I had where either to big to get in for not long enough. So I um'ed and ah'ed for ages as to how to get it off.
In the end I stuck it in the press and it came off with ease

Removed the rest of the gear/syncro assemblies and left with a bare main shaft. (The bit I'm replacing)
[/URL][/IMG]
Also needed to get this bearing race out of the pinion shaft.
[/URL][/IMG]
So I bought this set of blind bearing pullers. I would have made something to do the job or welded around it if need be.
But I had just sold some seats so had a couple of quid available.

And just like that

Easy when you have the right tools for the job.

Cleaned the casing up, Again not the best but a lot better than it was.
[/URL][/IMG]
Painted main casing in epoxy primer, Bloody good stuff but not the cheapest.
Luckily I had some left over from something else.
[/URL][/IMG]
And painted in 2k satin black.
[/URL][/IMG]
Next job was to clean the extension casing up.
A parts washer or dish washer would have been nice at this point
[/URL][/IMG]
Box of bits arrived.
[/URL][/IMG]
So with the bits here I could crack on.
Cleaned and assembled one end of main shaft including new baulk rings and bearing pressed on the end.
[/URL][/IMG]
And the other end. I think it's all right anyway
[/URL][/IMG]
Managed to get the remaining bearings off. They got damaged in the process but that doesn't really matter seen as new ones have been fitted.
[/URL][/IMG]
Built it back up into center plate.
Of all the things on this job, The thing that scared me the most is the selectors
![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
They're probably really easy to be fair but I just make them complicated in my head.
[/URL][/IMG]
And then stuck the main casing on with a new gasket inbetween and bolted up.
[/URL][/IMG]
Put the front housing on to check preload, Put extension case on and pressed oil seal collar on.
[/URL][/IMG]
And it's done
![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Dead chuffed with how it went and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Much easier than I thought, Nothing really complicated and wouldn't bother me doing another one in future
