Disassembly
1) Drive out left bearing cone (2) with 4th gear (3) from countershaft (1) using bearing puller (4) and
hydraulic press.
CAUTION!
• Use bearing puller and hydraulic press that will bear at least 5 ton (11,000 lb) safely.
• To avoid tooth damage, support 4th gear at flat side of bearing puller.
2) Apply bearing puller (5) to 2nd gear (4) and drive out 3rd & 4th gear spacer (2) and 3rd gear (3) together
with 2nd gear from countershaft (1) using hydraulic
press. Take out needle bearing from countershaft.
CAUTION!
• If compression exceeds 5 ton (11,000 lb), release compression once, reset bearing
puller support and then continue press
work again.
• To avoid gear tooth from being damaged, support it at flat side of bearing puller.
3) Take out 2nd gear synchronizer outer ring, center cone and inner ring.
4) Using snap ring pliers (2), remove circlip (1).
