Re: AX15 Rebuild Bearings
Guy I used to work with, defined transmission "special tools" as a brass
drift and a set of snap ring pliers. He got a lot of transmission work,
too. I think you're right. Under "Special Tools" your link lists "C-3339
Dial Indicator Set" and C-4961 Michrometer, Two Inch". If there was any
real "press"ing involved, there would be a bunch of collars and adapters to
buy. (What the hell is a "Michrometer"?)
The guy who is putting this thing together, needs to look at the part about
different thickness snap rings. I think it may be important.

Re: AX15 Rebuild Bearings
Hi Earle,
And there's a zillion types of ring pliers, too I usually whined up
binding two screwdrivers together.
That's the only name I know them by, you know it as micrometer, and
very necessary in engine rebuilding, inside mics especially for the
gears that ride an output shaft as regular roller bearings are not
strong enough and we can't see the wear in a brass bushing:

Re: AX15 Rebuild Bearings
Hi Brian,
Usually we buy a small parts kit, of which the snap rings are a
part.
Take a file and remove any burs your improvised tool made. On
AMERICAN transmission I remove the bearing out the front by putting that
bearing in a little bind and driven the input shaft in with a mallet,
moving the bearing out with each smack. Looks like everything separates
with your Japanese thing, I'd just point the input shaft at a two by
four and let inertia slip the bearing off.

Re: AX15 Rebuild Bearings
Hey Bill
Thanks for the info... This is my first tranny rebuild and I have
a new respect for the internal workings of an AX15. As for snap ring
pliers - 6 of the snap rings in this tranny has to be done by double
screwdriver (finding them after the fly across the floor was the hard
part). I am thinking a bearing seperator is needed to get these 3
started ... I can not get enough leverage from the big screw drivers.
I'm just looking for some more agressive home remedies for getting these
mothers off.... (PB Blaster?)
well I will read people ideas this week and try again on Friday or
Saturday.....
