Not a week goes by that I don't hear about someone passing on.Let's get out there,smoke some tires,have a beer with a good friend,do what you have always wanted to do.I am pretty sure no one will ever say on their deathbed "gee I'm glad my life was calm and boring"

Thanks, Zak Remove the snap ring on the shaft and then use a brass drift to knock it off the shaft Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

The weight of the first gear and synchro assembly would pop the bearing off quite easily. Be sure to use heavy leather gloves or you WILL pinch your skin when the bearing does let go! No me gusta...

I have used that method also, I was thinking of the 727 rear tailshaft bearing removal when posting that way The 4 speeds are different in many ways Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
