    R380 Mainshaft Collar - Removal

    How? haha

    I went out and bought bearing pullers which were cheap as, thinking it'd do the trick but as it turns out I was wrong, the teeth don't fit into the groove.

    So what are my other options? I dont want to buy the LR tool because it will cost me a small fortune. Help!

    Regards,

    Matt

    Matt,
    You'll have to buy a certain kind of puller, one that has a 2 piece 'bearing plate' and extended length legs, with a hydraulic ram unit etc to remove the collar. It helps to warm the collar slightly, you won't be reusing it so don't worry about damaging it

    Just having a look at some pullers that I think may do the trick:

    I used a steady hand and an angle grinder.

    Matt,

    Thats the one I have, but with the extras and the hydraulic ram was closer to $400.

    Can you borrow one from someone for the job? Or, $179 isn't too bad and you may need it again for something else...you DO own a Landy

    I like the angle grinder idea haha, but where do you grind through it? If you cut around the groove, itll just leave half inside the box?

    Location? There are a number of places that you can visit to do the job. I have the bearing plate separator, but it''s no good to you if you're not in SEQ.

    No biggie.. any decent mechanic should have the gear - if you haven't already found this thread, the first photo should help describe what JC was saying.

    I live just 20km from Tank, so that when I had to remove mine, I was able to use his puller.

    It was like the one in your link complete with a hydraulic ram. It was rated as a 10 tonne puller and it only just did the job.

    So there is another advantage of living on the glorious South Coast of NSW.
