Halp!

I cannot get the speedo gear unit out of the transfer case, I think the gear is a bit munted as the main cluster turns, but the gear shaft doesn't....

I removed the retaining screw, but no matter how tight I grip the sleeve, I cannot get it to budge. I have already had one case destroyed, I don't need another fucked.

I have access to bugger all equipment, but may have some gear at work that I can use...

The little tag the retainer goes through, give it a lil TAP with a hammer side way`s, you want to turn it not snap it. That should loosen the o`ring seal up. If you can get it to turn, get the tag so you can get a screw driver under it 7 again TAP upwards.

Hope that help`s

Just had a thort tho, is there a tag? or dose the bolt go through the drive?
I spend to much time on new shit box`s.

the retaining bolt goes through the sleeve and locks into a recess on the cable. Pull the bolt all the way out and try to twist the sleeve. if it twists then it should come out.
i just rebuilt another t/case and had trouble getting the speedo drive out as it was stuck in wih silicone. gave it a twist and pulled at the same time and it came out that fast i smacked myself in the mouth.

Have done things similar once or twice. Luckily no one else is usually around!

Is that up on Youtube? I'd like to see that.

vice grips worked on mine. dont try and pull it just twist it first

This might be completely retarded as its been years since I rebuilt my case but could you get compressed air in their to help push while you pull?

[lump_a_charcoal]

Prob not, can't get to the other side...

Would some heat help, or is that a no no with alloy?

[lump_a_charcoal]

Well I got it out finally- turned it using vice grips, with a shifter on those. heaps of fox piss, then tapped the vice grips with a hammer, and out she popped.
No visible damage either - weird!

Hi mate good to see you got it out in the end.
I put rockhoppers in mine last weekend. Mine was as hard to get out. I ended up using a bench press to press the outputshaft out. I did thid very very slowly. I could see the speedo was spinning. I did the save to put the shaft back in. It was very risky but it worked. I have driven it for 4 days now ans it is working soo this mite be a last resort for anyone next time.
Just go slow and be carefull.

Thankfully nobody else was there to see it. but fuck it hurt.
