How to Remove the Countershaft Assemblies (w/Ball Bearings) A Series

For ease of disassembly, mount the auxiliary section upright in a vise.

Both countershafts are removed the same.

When driving that countershaft to the rear, be careful not to damage the bearing inner race.

As the rear bearing is removed, the countershaft will fall.

• Typical Service Tools • Vise with brass jaws or wood blocks • Bearing puller • Soft bar and a maul

1. From the countershaft rear bearing cover, remove the capscrews, cover, and gasket.

2. Clean the gasket mounting surface of gasket material.

3. From the countershaft rear, remove the snap ring.

4. Use a sort bar and maul to drive the countershaft forward far enough to partially unseat the bearing.

5. Use a soft bar and maul to drive the countershaft to the rear.

This exposes the bearing snap ring.

6. Use a bearing puller and remove the countershaft bearing and countershaft.

7. Inspect the countershaft bearing inner race, remove if necessary.
