Thread: transfer case shaft removal

What can i use to drive the front bearing race out. in the manual it looks like a old bearing race they use as a spacer. Is there something else i can use or make? interested in what youve done in that situation? W.

Run the outside around on a grinder so it actually fits into the opening without sticking.

If need be weld it to some pipe or something, innovate.

Thanks Ashhhhh. I did sumilar to that, I took the old layshaft(LS) front bearing from the bellhousing and did the grind n cut and it worked ok. The LS bearing outer race was quite a bit smaller but did the trick.

I havent got to the inner races yet but hope i dont have the hassle that nobbydoldrums had. It should help to heat them with a heatgun if they are tough to move. I had to heat the rear layshaft bearing inner race as that was very tuff to get off. W
