I am busy rebuilding my gearbox (with close ratio gears) and have replaced the inter shaft roller bearing which is fairly worn with the plain bush. It slide over the shaft when I tested it out of the shaft and it pressed into the first motion gear fine.
But now I find the shaft won't slide all the way in. It seems to bind up on the last few mms. Even though I can't measure any difference in the shaft diameter you can see where the rollers have polished it a little and a bit of engineers blue wiped on the shaft showed that it is rubbing at that point.
It must be very close to fitting. What is the best way to fix this?
Also how is the best way to separate the two halves of the lay gear cluster once the clip is removed?
