Tricks for removing needle bearing from tcase output?

Post by HedgeBoar »

Just stripping down my transfer case to put some 6.5:1 gears in...

not having much luck getting the small needle bearing out of the front end of the output shaft, does anyone know any tricks to try with this?

Cheers.

yeah tried the circlip pliers and the grease method, along with a bit if slide hammer action..... with no luck. seems to be very stuck. Might just have to bite the bullet and take it to someone with the correct puller i guess...

Cheers.
