Very slowly working through a TR4A overdrive rebuild, and am advised there
should be little to no lateral play of the planet gears in their carrier. In
my case there is lots of play, so I suppose the bearings in the middle need
replacing. Therefore I need to get out the pins, which should just be a
press-out as I understand it.
Now I realize there are "Mills pins" that should be removed first, and how I
missed that I don't know, but, I managed to move the pins anyway: I am now
at the point where I can get two of the pins about 2/3 of the way out using
a hammer and drift - and they will go out either way - but then no further.
In fact one of them will go back and forth some of the way by hand now (I
have not tried the third; I wanted to leave it be for now to be a reference
for reassembly).
What is the hangup? I am guessing with the significant wear in the bearings,
there could be ridges on the pins, but I have tried all kinds of things and
they seem to reach a very hard stop.
Any BTDT advice?
Thanks,
Jim
