hello all.
I’m going to be helping a local friend change the gears on his strange 60. The axle is in the car and I don’t want to remove it to work on it.
How are you guys pressing the pinion out when the axle is in a car? Are you guys using a dead blow hammer and just wacking it out? I’d prefer to not hammer on it, if there is a tool to press it out?
I’m considering building a tool (kind of a saddle) to press it out with a bottle jack.
The carrier will not be a problem and I won’t need my spreader as the strange has adjustable pre load collars as opposed to shims.
Thanks for any help
