Re: My New Spring/Summer Project

Alright, so it turns out the replacement transmission I got with a blown front diff ended up actually having a sheered Reduction gear in the tailhousing. So, I am looking for a little help as to how to get the gears off to be replaced. Obviously the gear on the end of the pinion shaft falls off when you remove the pinion shaft itself. I'm having a problem how to figure out how to get the actual reduction gear off though. There is a bearing on it that I heard could be pressed on and I need a transmission bearing puller to get that off. Now I'm wondering if after that comes off, does the gear just slide off or will i have to find another type of puller of some sort for that as well?
here are some pics of the sheered gear as well as the good one. The gear I'm having trouble figuring out is the one that is in the center and not the one thats lower and to the slight right.
