Teardown Page 4

The case can now be stripped of the races and bearings that remain.

Remove the gearbox output shaft roller bearing as shown...

The bellhousing has the input shaft roller bearing, and it is pulled using an internal extractor. If you do not have an internal extractor, then the bearing can be pressed out from the other side. Remove the filtering screen plate from the case before attaching the puller support...

The internal extractor opens up as shown to grab the bearing...

Pull the output shaft small bearing outer race from the bellhousing as shown here...

Make sure that the pulling hooks of the internal extractor are in this position, so they are able to fit under the bearing race...

There is a small section in the bottom of the bore that the race sits on, this is higher than the bottom of the bore, allowing the extractor hooks to grab....

The diff carrier bearing races are pressed out of the case the same way basically, this shows the gear box side being removed, VW554 fits into the hole and just catches the race...

I'll add more pics later of the seals being removed and the green seal sleeve and 5th end cap being removed, but they basically pry out and are replaced with new.

The trans should now be stripped for most repairs that you would want to do.
