lower timing gear removal
hi,
seeing that jy motors for a 95 are ~$900, (with kinda hi miles), here in CT, i decided to have my motor reworked. i was hoping to get it to the shop this afternoon, but I forget how to extracted the lower timing gear. the manual does not elaberate beyond "disassemble in order shown"...any hints? thanks, peter |

lower timing gear removal
A good Impact tool (Pneumatic) makes short work of removing the nut.
(In gear, brakes locked) Once, I had a real problem with a Chevy S10/LUV It was solved (no impact tools) with an 8 foot pipe, breaker bar, and a HD socket. (170 pounds(me) at the end of the 8 foot pipe provided lots of foot pounds! In the dark ages, we used to disconnect the tranny linkage, and lock the tranny up by engaging two gears at a time. This can also be done with a Miata tranny, but I have never attempted it. (Take out shifter, then move two shift rods manually.)

Yikes!!!! Sounds like a good way to break the tranny. I ALWAYS!!!!! lock the flywheel!

Locking the flywheel may be easy, or it may not. It just depends on what
you need to do to get to it. On some cars, usually automatics, the flywheel (if it can even be called that) is easily cracked or warped. With a good impact wrench, the "shock" is a very rapid spike, and mostly absorbed by the mass of steel. There usually are better methods that involve tools specific to the engine. One area that I have trouble with are the bolts that hold the 5sp tranny together. Seems that they like to stretch when tightened to book torque value. Another aggrivation is a "butter smooth" shifting tranny vs. a "stiff" or "crunchy" one. It's tolerance that should determine things like this, and short of tearing down a "smooth" tranny to compare against a not so smooth tranny, I really don't know what the key tolerances might be. <OzOne> wrote in message ... > > Yikes!!!! > Sounds like a good way to break the tranny. > I ALWAYS!!!!! lock the flywheel! > > On Tue, 23 Sep 2008 23:10:25 -0400, "Chuck" > wrote: > >>A good Impact tool (Pneumatic) makes short work of removing the nut. >>(In gear, brakes locked) >> >>Once, I had a real problem with a Chevy S10/LUV >>It was solved (no impact tools) with an 8 foot pipe, breaker bar, and a HD >>socket.

On some cars, usually > automatics, the flywheel (if it can even be called that) Flex plate, actually but it can be locked the same as a flywheel. There is a risk of cracking because they're so thin. The easy way to remove the nut is with an impact wrench before the engine is disassembled, there's usually enough compression and drag to allow it to come loose. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://improve-usenet.org |
