Ok, who's got some tips on removing 5th gear from the shaft?
I've tried using a puller and it's not budging

Thought as i'm fitting a new clutch I should rebuild my LSD box thats in my garage and fit that at the same time, running a old XR3i box ATM!

Cheers!

 

ive heard they are a pain in the ass lol have you tryed heating it up or summink? hows the mapping going btw?

 

there is a guy on ebay selling the 5th gear removal tool just type cvh in and it should come up

 

No I have not tried heating it yet, but had thought about it.
Mapping is going well, pulls like a train even at just 16/17psi, enough to make my AP clutch slip if I go any more!
No sign of Det, ACT's are around 36degree's (ambient 25degrees), still playing with the cold start settings as the mornings are getting colder!
Really pleased with how things are going!

 

I'll take a peek now.............

At £30!!!
Also looks like the prongs are missing, it's not going to pull much without them! lol

 

why not just buy another box and fit your lsd into it?

take the easy way out.

 

I take it you're not to up to speed on a gear puller mate.This is what they look like whole/complete.No prong's!!!!Regards,Micky

 

if your using a bearing puller you will have hit the bolt part of it with a lump hammer then turn it to "shock it off" .i wouldn't heat it up too much because it might start getting noisy after rebuild
the last one that gave me a hard time took 3 people 2 with pry bars prying the gear and me hitting the living s**t out of the puller lol

 

Yeah I was thinking they where just like bearing/hub pullers, not seen one like that before!

Cheaper to rebuild mine hopefully! It had been rebuilt 3000miles before it died, what happened was I could only get 1st and 2nd all of a sudden, i'm hoping to find what the problem is and fix it!

 

Well so far............ bars, hammers, lots of heat, pullers, and still not moving!!

 

you need a special puller with very thin wide ends and two g clamps
fit the puller , use the two g clamps and hold the arms of the puller together
have a mate hold the box and the g clamps .use either a power bar or an impact wrench and a lot of patience

 

oh shit, didnt see it was for rs turbo. sorry.

 

All done!

This is what conquered it in the end.............

 

when i had mine rebuilt, my 1st box came apart in seconds, and he said that wasnt a good thing lol, so i guess if the fucker is tight on there, at least u know it isnt that fucked

 

lol
Yes mate your right, if it falls off then the main shaft is worn

 

yeah, mine kind of came off with a screwdriver

thus why i ran home praying that my spare box wasnt quite so 'bedded in' haha
