Hi,
I just pulled out my gearbox (Toploader) followed by the clutch and flywheel trying to locate a leak that I suspected was coming from the rear crank seal. The good news is that there are no obvious signs of a leak from the crank.
The not so good news is that the pilot bearing is chewed up and pushed back into the crank. It looks as though the nose shaft on the gearbox didn't line up correctly with the hole the last time it was installed and instead, pushed the bearing back.
How do I remove the old bearing and are there any issues I need to be aware of when installing a new one?
As to the
oil leak, it now looks as though it is coming from the input shaft on the gearbox.
Thank you.
Paul
