dream car 12 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 Can someone help me please, need to know if you can remove the rear main shaft without removing the rear bearing first? . Don't have a bearing puller, just want to replace the synchronizer blocker rings. Thought about removing the front bearing with 4th gear first, then removing the snap ring on the main shaft, and removing one drive gear at time. Then take out the main shaft from the top opening.. Can this be done, or I need get a bearing separator ? any help is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1969_Mach1 333 Report post Posted April 12, 2020 Sorry to say, but the bearing has to be removed to get the main shaft loaded with gears and synchronizers out of the case. The only safe way to remove the bearing is with a puller. That I know from experience. I ruined a main shaft once trying other methods with a brass hammer.
