Re: Series 3 gearbox strip down

They're the "perfect fit" fabric gloves which aren't too bad,
they dont catch on things like rubber ones do. I use them all
the time in work, guess where I get my ones from (once I've
finished with them in work, of course) :D

Next on the list is the front output shaft housing,
The first thing to come off is the bracket for the high/ low
range lever (already off on mine) and the 4wd control lever.
To get the 4wd lever bracket off, you must first remove the
split pin and then the bolt in the centre

Next to be removed was the dust cover for the selector shafts

The 2 selector shafts were then knocked out using a mallet

Then I took the flange off the front, again removing the split
pin before undoing the castle nut. As I couldnt lock it off, I
held the flange in the vise to undo the nut.

The flange can then be pulled off

Next to come off was the oil seal housing, the nuts on the
outside were removed

And it was gently prised off

The shaft should then just drop out the back

The front bearing was then pressed out. You can use an
appropriate sized socket on a long extension bar and hit that
with a mallet to knock it out

This bearing will be replaced as it doesnt sound particularly
healthy (its like its got grit or something in it and it feels a
bit notchy)
This leaves me with an empty output shaft housing ready for
rebuild
