tmix61 90 #1 Posted 16 hours ago A friend of mine had my rear end apart a couple of years ago One of the bull ring bolts broke and the guys on here said to replace it with grade 5 bolts which I had did, replace some needle bearings and gaskets and put it back together. Still had no reverse when put it all back together. Now 4 years later I had the money to professionally had the front pump and rear pump rebuilt The guy said it was ate up pretty bad. When I took the rear pump off I noticed one bearing cover which is the bearing had cracks in it and a little piece out of it My question is do I have to split the transmission or could I drill a small hole in the center and put a sheet metal screw and try to back it out off of the end of the shaft? Instead of pulling the transmission apart? My next question is the filter was laying in the bottom of the transmission Good thing it never got chewed up can I epoxy it to the plug and put it back in the cap seem to have came off of the filter I believe that filter and I'm sure somebody will tell me exactly what it does but the fluid goes through the filter to the front pump so it's filtering the fluid can I just epoxy it onto that plug and then put silicone on the plug and put it on? I know drilling a hole in that cover for the bearing is not the right way but I sure do not want to split that case apart. Just asking if anybody has ever done that or thoughts on it.

JoeM 9,285 #2 Posted 16 hours ago I have never put one of those bearing in from the outside, but what would it hurt. I think that needs replaced because the needles run in the cup area that has the chunk missing. I have JB welded other screen filters before with good results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
