#1: Driveshaft removal-O/S (driver side)? Author: Triggerfish, Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2014 1:14 pm ---- Anyone know how this is removed from the gearbox?

Decided to go the other way, the drive shaft bearings are held in by 2 no. eccentric screws (11mm), took these off and hammered from the gearbox side, through a gap just behind the bearings to force the shaft out.....tough one..!

That's actually the correct way of doing the job
#5: Re: Driveshaft removal-O/S (driver side)? Author: Triggerfish, Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 2:27 pm ---- So How do you actually put the new one back in?..as the bearings will be very tight against the surroundings. Surely you can't hammer it at the 2 no. eccentric screws locations so the actual bearings will fit through and enough into the slot so it has a good fit into the gearbox too?
Is there a special tool required for this? or do you actually just use the 2 no. eccentric screws to slowly guide and force the bearing into its place by turning the two 11 mm nuts?
