If a proper puller tool is not available, the following suggestions are just a few ways to remove the bearing either for a new replacement or complete removal. | If a proper puller tool is not available, the following suggestions are just a few ways to remove the bearing either for a new replacement or complete removal. | ||
| − | + | When removing the bearing you will be removing the transmission. So, as anytime, when doing these changes ''be safe'' and have the vehicle properly secured when lifted in the air, if you do not have a lift. Be sure to use the proper jack stands for the weight of the vehicle in question, and, if possible, have someone there with you while performing the work. DO NOT place vehicle on blocks of wood or concrete blocks. If you have access to a transmission stand, use it by all means. | |
Vehicle needs to be on a good level surface. After the transmission has been removed and cleared from the vehicle, you will remove the flywheel. Then, if you look at the end of the crankshaft, you will see the bushing. It is where the shaft of the transmission will ride when installed. The nose of the shaft sits inside the bearing. Now you can either rent or buy a puller for this. It's a small slide hammer puller with fingers on it that you will place in the bearing and use it to pull the bearing out. If you do not have access to a puller here are a few other ways of removing the bearing. | Vehicle needs to be on a good level surface.
