    R380 Layshaft Nut Removal

    Okay I am rebuilding my R380 and I am at the point I remove the nut from the lay-shaft after taking the extension housing off.
    I have no problem with the socket, as my granddad has a 3/4 drive Elora socket set hehe. The problem however is I cannot make the shafts from turning - I simply cannot see a way of doing it....
    According to the manual I am meant to use a special LR tool, but screw that!!!
    What have you guys used?

    Regards,

    since the detents are removed (or if they arent remove them)

    select 1st/2nd and 4th.

    it will also come off with bursts from a rattle gun.,

    have a look at where the shift rods sit. 4th is the rod that moves the syncro thats furthest forwards inside the box forwards while 1st is the one that moves the one at the back backwards.

    if you cant get it that way and you dont have a rattle gun.

    theres a couple of butchers tricks left in the book that involve rubber mallets, sockets, extention bars and an inner tube wrapped tightly around the exposed gears form the housing removal.

    As Dave says an old inner tube or a rag stuffed in between meshing gears will stop them turning enough to undo. IMHO an electric rattle gun is a fantastic tool to have in this circumstnce

    As Dave suggested, selecting two gears at once is the easiest way to do it. I've used this technique many times.
