Hi All, I am rebuilding a 69 18 spline for the 66 Coronet project and am using the how-to manual that is the popular favorite along with disassembly pictures to re-assemble it.
One area that is kind of glossed over in the manual is removing the input shaft with the large bearing, it has a line about pressing the shaft out using the case with the retaining ring in for support. All well and good.
Now I am reassembling it and the book says to reinstall the bearing using a drift after the input shaft is back in place. I believe that this is the method to use for small bearing input shafts but I don't believe that the bearing is going to be hammered back on with this transmission
Anyone out there done this?
Thanks
