You effing retard... Why did you do this? You could have removed it all without breaking anything... Worst DIY ever :down: LMAO... I should leave & lock this here to remind you...

 

Lmaooo this was the only thing i could find that worked lol how else could i have done it? I took the case to two shops and they told me to tap it out from the case. They didnt even want to bother lol

i thought my idea was genious

 

Next time, get a small screwdriver such as this one

Then pop out each individual cylinder bearing from between the hard plastic and the outer bearing side, then the hard plastic center piece comes right out. Then you can either use that bearing puller or a long curved flathead screwdriver to pop out that outer bearing.

 

I didnt need the old bearing lol i had a new one so i went.to.town. on the old one lol

But yeah the little cylinders popped right out

 

Run hot water on the transmission case aluminum expands faster and bearing falls out

I have a special puller I use i will find a picture

 

i like it.

 

Thanks Chris :up:

OTC 7319 I use it often, I do most of the k series manual transmission rebuilds lol

Thanks Fred. I was looking at the OTC pullers. I didnt know which one to go with. Its the same picture for all models on amazon.com lol didnt know which was small/large enough for the main :up:

Jonny is tearin up the DIY. good job

 

Thanks, this will save me $50 on my j32 trans if I can get it out, and the powdercoat shop will actually run it through the acid and oven :up:

 

Why not turn the case over and hit it with a dead blow, works for me everytime.

 

Everyone told me this. Even the guys at 2 transmissions shops. One told me to lube the bearing and tap the back of the case. I think someone mentioned to run hot/cold water on the case. None of this worked for my bearing. Mines definately popped once i took it out with the jaw puller so it was in there pretty tight :up:

 

All I did to remove the bearing is heat the other side of case with torch for a minute and it popped out with 2 hits of the dead blow

 

So after you heat it up and hit it ,it kind of falls out?

 

Yes, what happens is the aluminum expands from the heat so it's not tight against the bearing and the oil already in there from years of being lubed also helps it slide out :up: I doubt water is hot enough for it to work this easily so I used a small propane torch
