fitting big nut that holds pinion gear on?????
Turbo Mini Forums

hi chaps
recently got my new sccr gearbox and have come to fit my pinion. i have searched through several posts saying to clamp box down, using a car......clamps....etc.

but i couldnt find anything on how to stop the gears from rotating while tightening the nut??

so what is the best way to do this as i dont really fancy wedging something in between my new gears?????

thanks

engage 2nd and 3rd at the same tine bud

Or 1st and 4th.

Whichever, you need to disengage the interlock mechaism first (for obvious reasons) and re-asseble it after the nut is torqued and locked.

I have read that you should engage 1st and 4th as apparently you can brake stuff in 2nd and 4th.

i dont belive it persoinally, but it still makes me use 1st and 4th!

so how do i dis engage the interlock. found this on net earlier but did not say anything bout interlock so been rawling my ass off for past half hour trying to engage them!!
thanks for the info guys much appreciated

you need to whip the diff out, and twist the shaft so it's not engaged into the selectors, you can then tap gears to get it into 2 gears at once

It's been a few years since I touched a box, oh er misses, but I think there's a little ball & spring held in by one of the diff side plates that you might need to remove. However it's been a while so I'm sure someone will correct me if I've got it wrong.

Removing the diff side plate that holds the ball/spring in will allow you to pull the interlock sleeve out and hence disengage the interrlock, BUT, if the diff is still in, it's really difficult to see what you are doing.

Best done with the diff out (in which case the sleeve will be out anyway) so you can see what you are doing...

jimster is that the shaft selector shaft you speak of, or the barrel. as ive turned this and can not get the interlock to disengage??

done! thanks for the help guys much appreciated

You need to release the "barrel" by pulling the ball, plunger, and sleeve from behind the diff bearing side plate.

Once the barrel is free, you can disengage the selector end from the selector fork rods.

It really is best done with the diff out, apart from the fact you can't see what you are doing with the diff still in, I'm not sure if the barrel will slide back far enough with the diff still in....

haynes say 1st and 4th, but i read somewhere that someone, somewhere, once upon a time, knew someones brother who stripped 1st using this method.

ive used 2nd and 3rd a number of times with no probs, so...?

2nd stripped on my box using 2nd and 3rd, but I think thats just bad luck to be honest
