Wow! The Netherlands. Ain't the internet great?
I am doing this from memory, so please forgive me if I am a
little fuzzy.
You should be able to separate the annulus from the sliding
member with a puller fairly easily. The annulus should not be rusted to
the sliding member because there is friction material on the sliding
member that prevents metal to metal contact. It is more likely that the
annulus is simply wedged tightly inside the sliding member, since the
annulus is conical in shape.
As long as you are doing a teardown, be sure to measure the
thickness of the friction material on the clutch member. This is the
main wear point on the OD, and if worn the OD will slip in reverse when
hot. The clutch should be considered completely worn out at 0.040" (1mm)
remaining material, and as new at 0.100" (2.5mm) remaining.
Cheers,
Vance

Subject: OD disassembly
Listers,
Winter-project time. Mine is adding an OD to the TR6. For this I
acquired a
somewhat scruffy but otherwise healthy saloon gearbox with a J-type. I
am
taking box and OD apart for cleaning, inspection and changing the
gaskets,
O-rings and Oil seals.
I did separate OD and gearbox with some effort. I removed the adapter. I
unbolted the rear piece from the main OD part and have a few milimeters
of
space. As per Nelsons write-up I should be able to remove the rear part.
However it will not move any further. I don't want to apply any brute
force
and risk breaking anything so my resort now is to the even more
powerfull
collective list wisdom: anyone BTDT?
A thought I have is that the annulus assembly is rusted stuck to the
sliding
clutch. I have sprayed with dissolvent but no result sofar.
My next thought would be to pull of the rear housing with a puller to
get
more acces to the problem area. This would normally be an action
performed
later on but I read from the exploded views that I can try so with no
harm?
Any thoughts are welcome!
