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
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)
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:

Removed bell housing, Stuck it in vice and removed casing.
(Yep theirs loads of pics missing as I forgot
)

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.

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.
[/URL][/IMG]
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
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
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
Hmm do I fancy an R380 next
