This is my first 4 speed rebuild, I have done a number of 5 speeds but this one is much different.

Anyway, need advice on pulling input shaft/input shaft bearing from the front case (bell housing). Circlip and washer are off.

Should I just heat it up and pull the shaft by hand? Maybe Put a steel bar across the bell housing and use a bearing separator on the input shaft splines with a two prong puller... it will be a little off center but might work?

Nothing to grab onto with a puller,,,

Any advice is appreciated

Was a long time ago, but don’t remember having to heat it before, just persistent wiggling by hand was enough to break it loose as I recall (I did have it strapped to a pallet for added stability).

Pat, Here are some pics from my servo trans....bearing, bearing holder and input shaft push out the front. Hope this helps

Joe, not Pat!

Ok, after trying to pull the input shaft out the front the way the roadster book says, I actually followed the factory manual and drove it out from the rear after the main shaft was removed. Wasted a few hours trying to put it out…doh!

Good to know!
