Pressing tapered roller bearing inner race off spur gear drive input gear A -  Splitter 22...115 mm, e.g. -Kukko 17/2-   Note t  The method of pressing off the tapered roller bearing inner races for the spur gear drive input gear is the same for both bearings. t  The tapered roller bearing inner and outer races are paired. Do not interchange. t  The tapered roller bearing inner races can also be pulled off using tapered roller bearing puller -V.A.G 1582- and adapter -V.A.G 1582/8-; to do so, insert thrust plate -40 - 105-.

Pressing tapered roller bearing inner race onto spur gear drive input gear (gearbox cover side)

Pressing tapered roller bearing outer race out of bearing plate

Pressing tapered roller bearing outer race -A- into bearing plate

Pulling small ball bearing -C- out of centre differential A -  Counter-support, e.g. -Kukko 22/2- B -  Internal puller 37 ... 46 mm, e.g. -Kukko 21/6-

Pressing small ball bearing -A- into centre differential

Pulling large ball bearing -B- off centre differential –  Insert smaller diameter of thrust plate -VW 447 H- in centre differential –  Then apply thrust plate -40 - 105-. A -  Three-arm puller, e.g. -Kukko 45-2-
