Lotus 5 Speed: Input shaft removal special tool
Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2022 1:56 am
Hi,
I need to pull the input/1st motion shaft from my gearbox to replace 4th gear synchro ring. Reading the manual the assembly should just pull out. However a couple of special tools are required:
1) 18G284AAC/2 - A spacer that slides between 4th gear and the bearing outer race. So when pull the force is transmitted to the outer race.
2) Various spacer/adapters to connect a slide hammer to the shaft
I am wonder if what people have done for these when working on these boxes? Not impossible for me to figure something out but suspect others have already done this and figured out better solutions, especially for 1.
Thanks,
Mark
