Re: Hello Everyone
You have removed or turned out of the way the 'hockey stick' bolts?

I did remove the 2 hockey stick bolts yesterday The bearing just wont move, I have the shaft pulled towards the drivers side now and the gearbox is back in. Only 74 k on the car but it seems to have been neglected.

Re: Hello Everyone
They can be utter ***** to move.
I've resorted to a specially ground cold chisel to act as a punch and walloped the bearing with a 4 lb club hammer before now and on one occasion actually shattered the bearing in the housing...
Generally though if you attack them with a cold chisel (ground so as to fit snugly against the drive shaft lip) rotate the shaft as you land blows they do normally give up gracefully.

Re: Hello Everyone
I'm doing it on the ground so space is limited. Any way of removing it that doesn't involve a grinder?

Re: Thanks guys
Hi, It wouldn't move. I unbolted the carrier from the engine and aligned it when fitting the gearbox. took a while but it's back driving. There was plenty of wear left on the clutch but the pressure plate was very rusted and the release bearing was in shreds.CitroJim wrote:Great newsdoctle wrote:Car is back together thanks everyone for the help advice and info

Re: Thanks guys
Great stuff.. At least the job is all nicely done now. I trust you replaced the complete clutch and not only the release bearing....doctle wrote:Hi, It wouldn't move.

Re: Hello Everyone
good stuff Doctle
I had a V6 406 coupe with a stuck intermediate bearing, very frustrating.. in the end I took the whole auto box and what was left of driveshaft to an autobox specialist..
He put all of it on an old oil barrel, and hit with a serious lump hammer.. many times,,
it came apart then

Re: Thanks guys
Hi Jim,

Thanks again you guys are all very helpful
I'll be back with more questions soon

Re: Hello Everyone
I remember that well John and in fact I have a spare 4HP20 here with exactly the same problem. It has the stub of a drive shaft stuck in it. A stub because most of the drive shaft got cut off after many attempts to remove it failed!!!jgra1 wrote: I had a V6 406 coupe with a stuck intermediate bearing, very frustrating.. in the end I took the whole auto box and what was left of driveshaft to an autobox specialist..
I'll most likely deal with it when I strip the 'box to overhaul it...
Paul, excellent Keep the questions coming
