Subject:      input shaft, pilot bearing questions
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

I FINALLY got a few moments today to "play" in the garage a bit. I was
working on installing the input shaft in the 4 spd diesel transmission.
I was unable to get it threaded on entirely. There is a little play in
the shaft.  Should I try to get this on further?  I'm finding it very
difficult to get things positioned to thread the shaft on any further.
Maybe there's a trick I've not yet heard??

Also, I'm fighting like heck to remove the pilot bearing.  I've tried
the grease trick with no luck.  I think I may try a rotary tool with a
cut-off wheel tonight.  Any last advice?

Thanks,
Brad
