Removing A Lsd Unit From A Gearbox...

[Jimlad]

Ok...

I've sold my Kaaz LSD unit which is currently in my old gearbox (as mr2 is sold now). Just curious as to how to go about removing the LSD unit from the gearbox?

I think I know where the LSD unit is in the gearbox as there is some sealant stuff around a part of the gearbox... so this looks like that part has been off recently (to fit the LSD).

If anyone understood the above and you can help.... please let me know asap.

Failing that I'll just start unbolting bits and bobs until I find it... lol.

thanks

Unbolting bits till you find it sounds fun! :D

free bump.

you will need special gear pullers and sockets to strip the box down.

you need to start by removing the cover at the end of the box (furthest away from flywheel) then the fifth gear and syncro (special gearpuller) then the torx bolts underneath (very tough torx socket as they are tight) then you can undo the blts holding the box together and remove the diff

[Jimlad]

is there anyway I can do it without a special gear pulley????

Ie... just yank the bugger?? lol

The box is gonna get scrapped anyway... so not too fussed if I damage it in anyway.

Why not give them the complete gearbox ?

[Jimlad]

ALOT more difficult to post than a LSD

You TIGHT GIT :D :D

Without the right tools you can do alot of damage

(seen you work remember :P ) then you throw the tool away

[Jimlad]

lmao.... didn't need that tool... had another.

Well tbh as long as the LSD doesn't get damaged it's all good. Just need the LSD out.

Big Hammer time

Just take the box to John, he'll get it out much quicker than either of us.

you need one of these contraptions to get the gears off, the claws hook onto the cg and the bolt centers on the shaft, you then give it a tweak and it pulls it off in a linear fasion, youll never shift it by hand

about 20quid normally

[ricomr2]

about 20quid normally

Which is probably more than John will take to do it

[dawesy]

rob right idea but that type wont do it. this is what i used

worked a treat. if you were closer to me id lend it you

[Jimlad]

tools look complicated... lol.

Big hammer... bash.....

will that not get them off?

[jaxx]

yeah thats the better version lee

jim... no youll smash the cog to bits! just buy the damn tool

'do it once and do it right'

I have been working on cars for years in my garage,

smashing my knuckles, ripping my skin, bendinf fingernails back !!

If there is one thing I know, USE THE CORRECT TOOL.

If you dont have it...BUY IT !

I spent about 2 hours trying to do my rear break pads, f#*king calipers, smash, bang, bleed.

In the end went a got a caliper re-wind tool....job done all back together and out on the raod 15 mins latter.

and thats just one ocasion....valve removers, piston ring compressor, tried to do joibs without these....impossible

It will be worth it...BUY IT !

[jaxx]

bending fingernails back !!

just done that removing the doorcard

[dawesy]

oooohhhhh that hurts. yep you cant beat having the right tool for the job

[ricomr2]

The tool is only £13 quid in halfrauds, worth the money I

I suppose but I'm always relutant to buy something I know I'll never use again!

Could always take it back once the jobs done and say its the wrong thing :D
