|
Removing the carrier bearing. We pulled the carrier bearings apart with a gear puller, and then used the MGA inserts to clamp the bearing in the race. It fits with a little help from a couple washers. This was a nice discovery. Foam to help catch it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Without doing this, we weren't sure how we would get the bearing off the carrier. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13 |
|
This just pulled the carrier bearing apart. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14 |
|
The carrier bearings were shot. |
|

Removing the carrier bearing. |
|
|
|
|

|
Pressing on the new carrier bearings. |
|
|

|
Removing the TF pinion shaft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Driving out the inner bearing race. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Using a brass rod to avoid damage to the case. |
|
|
|
|

|
Removing the outer pinion shaft bearing race. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
22 |
|
Pressing on the inner pinion shaft bearing. Since we had dry ice, we cooled the pinion shaft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
24 |
|
Using the Cedarstrand tool to press in the pinion shaft races. They were cooled with dry ice prior to installation. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
27 |
|
It was helpful to lay everything out to keep things straight. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
29 |
|
The tool in the front is Cedarstrands design to hold the carrier still to check backlash. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
30 |
|
We used a bed frame rail to lock the shaft to torque the pinion shaft nut. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
31 |
|
Torquing the pinion shaft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
32 |
|
We used a lathe and a honing stone to true the ends of the MGA spacer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
33 |
|
This was our tool to determine the pinion shaft pre-load. We measurede how far away the one pound can was when the rail started to drop. So many inches away determined inch pounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
34 |
|
Again. A little too much. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
35 |
|
Tool for testing backlash. We did not end up using this method. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
36 |
|
This was the method that we used for measuring backlash. Board made out of foam-core with a loose fit around the flange. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
37 |
|
We used the Cedarstrand bar to lock the carrier in place in order to measure the backlash. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
38 |
|
Looking into the case with the pinion shaft installed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
The carrier inserted with a spacer resting on top of the bearing. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
41 |
|
Pressing the assembly together. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
42 |
|
We used three inexpensive feeler gauges to set the gap on the case. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
44 |
|
We cut the required amount of metal off the spacer on the lathe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
48 |
|
New nuts. We did use a paper gasket. |
