LT95 Intermediate shaft

[Vern]

Can someone tell me how to get the shaft out for the intermediate gears in an LT95. Read my manual and says to use an "appropriate puller", anyone know what it is or how do you get it out.
Thanks

Quote from manual reads......

1 Remove speedometer drive housing.
2 Remove gearbox bottom cover.
3 Screw a suitable extractor into the 8mm threaded hole provided in the intermediate gear shaft.
4 Hold the intermediate gear cluster in position and withdraw the shaft.
5 Insert the slave shaft RO1003 to retain together the gears assy.
6 withdraw the intermediate gears assy.

It go's on further.:D

Without seeing it I cant say for sure but if you screw in a 8mm threaded bolt and use a puller on that somehow??

Mmmmmm... thanks Mick. Now what would that suitable extractor be. I presume the 8mm bolt hole is from the speedo drive housing.

Is a bit agricultural as I dont have and cant afford the right tools, but I just thread a bolt into the shaft and use a claw hammer under the head of the bolt to lever it out a bit then pull it the rest of the way by hand should come out quite easily once shifted initially.

Good Luck

thanks Luke, I like your work, will give it a go;)

Slide hammer?

The "extractor" pics in the manual look pretty similar to a slide hammer with a threaded end on it.

I think its only retained by the friction of the O ring seal once the speedo housing is removed.
BUT make sure you push it out with the dummy shaft. A broom handle or piece of dowel makes a good dummy shaft. Make sure the dummy shaft is short enough to drop out the bottom of the case with all the gears etc on it.
Its a long time ago but trust me on this.
And note the order in which the shims, gears etc come out.
You then have to inspect all the gears, to see that the wear has not made them too short to contain the bearing cages. Do not skimp on this.

Thanks Phillip, will be careful. Only pulling it apart to replace gaskets and seals, but wanna know how it all works incase i have to build it one day, at the moment it works fine. touch wood. But wanna once over the bearings and whatever else looks a bit ordinary.

Replace the needle rollers if they haven't been lately;)

Its been taper rollered already, but will check em over

If it's had the taper roller conversion, it will be different to the stock shaft with needle bearings, which the above replies refer to.

[PhilipA]

AFAIK, the tapered rollers only take the place of the end bearings and shims.
The caged needle rollers must still be inside each gear,and wear in the gear causes the cages of the rollers to destruct, and then the bits block up the drilling in the middle of the shaft, so the oil that drains into the shaft via the v shaped drain in the case get blocked and no oil to the shaft bearings.

Will take precautions anyway.
