Thread: 5 speed manual or LT77S ?

Thanks all for your help, I bought a 10 ton Hyd. puller and bearing splitter set(old one was a 5 tonner) off ebay this arvo for $187.00 (delivered), local tool places wanted $350, repco $600, same kit same brand, christ some of these mobs have some mark/up, will have puller by mid next week so should be able to get box apart then, if not I will paint it green and throw it into the long grass down the back paddock.
Any sugestions on where I can buy Gaskets, seals, bearings and "That" rear seal collar, Regards Frank.

Im pretty sure that the last lot I got came thanks to Tim at landrovers only and he sourced some out of fourwheel drives in melbourne.

if its the same as the bit I think your thinking of in the LT77 that I had to last do a recuild on I used a 2 leg puller and then with a pin torch (very small oxy torch essentially) heated the bits of the ring that werent held by the puller to red heat while someone else gingerly applied torque to the puller arm (bout 1/6th of a turn at a time) and then smaked the lifting screw with a brass head hammer.

I did exactly that for 5th gear - neighbour with his torch, but as I applied pressure with the puller and home made adapter I was using high velocity blows with a very light hammer and punch on the rebated face of the gear. The vibration was what got the movement.

It's going to be fun getting it back on!

I found the guys at Karcraft EXTREMELY helpful. The big box of parts (including gaskets) shown in my pics came from them. They had all parts in hand and the freight was next day.
