I got myself into a frenzy tearing apart my Spitfire to fix rear
suspension things. Next thing I knew, my gearbox was on my
workbench, and I was trying to tear it down to fix reverse (which I
lost eons ago).
I am having trouble removing the clutch input shaft/bearing unit. My
Haynes manual suggests (a) knocking the bearing out from the inside
with a soft metal drift or (b) putting hose clamps on the input shaft
and somehow use these for leverage.
I don't have a soft drift and the hose clamp idea doesn't seem to be
working well. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I'm getting very
frustrated.
Also, why do gears cost so much!?!?! I'm praying that I don't have
to replace some of the more pricey ones. I'm hoping to rebuild this
for under $300.
