Seen as all TD's pics have gone, I've had a go at interpreting his instructions.

I think the point of this is to bring it out smoothly and squarely so you don't damage the bearing or casing. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Ah, no answer then. Thought so. maybe you're trying to imply that a gentle tap with a hammer twisted the gearbox casing so it could not longer withstand anything ? But I'd like to hear an explanation of how the method used to install a bearing, causing no damage to bearing or housing can lead to stripping teeth of the input gear and lay gear Stripping teeth of a straight cut 2nd gear and lay gear And destroying a 4 pin diff due to too much torque.

I was referring more to you style of working, but only in jest. No need to have a cow. :-p On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Nice edit there.... I'm firmly of the opinion that torque isn't the only thing that breaks gearboxes. Poor condition bearings and sloppy assembly are also a factor (IMO and not a digg at Stevie). So, if I can get the box apart and back together as gently as possible, then that's a positive for me. Mini gearboxes are incredibly simple. It would be hard to go wrong. I dont think it is physically possible to put it together such that any gears arent meshing properly ? So unless one of the shafts breaks or needle rollers collapse. Torque is the biggest killer. 9.85 @ 145mph

Bringing up an old thread, but do you have the dimensions for the tool to dislodge the double roller bearing? |

The o.d. is slightly less than the double roller and the i.d. is 1" On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Around 20mm. Measure the thickness of the bearing from the face to the metal ring, needs to be a little larger than that. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
