       Right update time, stripping the transfer box!
       Before removing the shaft, I checked how far into the casing
       the bearing sits (6mm) as a reference for when I refit the
       bearing

       The shaft is first drifted rearwards with a mallet

       The large circlip is then removed

       Next I drifted the bearing inner race off the shaft (apologies
       for the blurry action shot)

       Then the circlip holding the thrust washer and the gears in
       place was removed allowing the shaft to removed

       Right been a while since last update. I have actually finished
       the box and its running well now (thank God), I just havent had
       the time to carry on with this thread.
       Right back to business,
       First thing I did was to overhaul the bellhousing.
       The input shaft was drifted out of the bellhousing (backwards)
       leaving this:

       Using circlip pliers, the circlip was removed. This will be
       replaced. Note: there is a thrust washer under the circlip
       [URL=
  HTML http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/110samec/media/P7120195.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/110samec/P7120195.jpg[/img][/URL]
       Holding the input shaft (gently) in the vice, the bearing could
       be heated up with the blow torch until it fell down the shaft
       after a slight tap with the mallet
       [URL=
  HTML http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/110samec/media/P7130196.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/110samec/P7130196.jpg[/img][/URL]
       The new bearing was heated up with a blow torch until it could
       be dropped into place on the shaft and the thrust washer was
       replaced
       [URL=
  HTML http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/110samec/media/P7130197.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/110samec/P7130197.jpg[/img][/URL]
       Circlip being fitted using circlip pliers

       The assembled input shaft. The seal land looks good so no
       worries there of any pitting ragging the new oil seal
       [URL=

       The bellhousing casing was rested on top of the vice so there
       was enough room underneath for the input shaft to drop down. The
       casing was then heated up until the bearing could be dropped
       into place
       [URL=
  HTML http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/110samec/media/P7130200.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/110samec/P7130200.jpg[/img][/URL]
       The layshaft bearing could then be dropped into place using the
       same technique (heating the casing up) an the bearing carriers
       can be put in place (The input shaft bearing carriers are
       handed)

       Layshaft bearing cover plate thing goes down with the lip going
       against the bearing

       Nuts and lockwasher in place with the tabs being lifted up. You
       might find putting a prybar through the clutch fork hole and
       tapping that is easier for lifting the tabs

       The bellhousing was then wrapped in rags to keep everything
       clean and put aside till later

       Now then, rear mainshaft bearing housing overhaul.
       I started by removing the old oil seal, removing the large
       circlip which retains the bearing and then drifting out the old
       bearing

       The manual says to put loctite on the outer race before fitting
       to hold into the housing
       [URL=
  HTML http://s1126.photobucket.com/user/110samec/media/P7130207.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l606/110samec/P7130207.jpg[/img][/URL]
       New bearing being pressed into the housing

       Once the bearing was pressed in and the circlip refitted, I
       fitted the oil seal (a corteco one)
       Here you can see the layshaft outer race in position (more on
       this later), this was done at this point for convenience.

       Again loctite was used but on the housing itself this time

       This is so good!  How did you get the layshaft rear bearing race
       out of the gearbox casing?

       Got my main box in bit on my bench at the moment....spending a
       lot of time to get the end float correct on 2nd 3rd gear...think
       I may need an over sized washer and a new brass sleeve.
       Quite a fiddle of a job.

       AntC: The casting has two holes behind the outer race. I heated
       up the casing around it first and then lightly tapped it and it
       came out easily
