Fig. 1 Pulling tapered roller bearing outer race out of clutch housing
A - Counter support, e.g. Kukko 22/2
B - Internal puller 46 to 58 mm, e.g. Kukko 21/7

Note: After puffing out, check washer for damage and replace if necessary.





Fig. 2 Pressing tapered roller bearing outer race into clutch housing
- First insert washer.





Fig. 3 Pulling off tapered roller bearing inner race
- Before mounting extractor position press piece 40-105 on differential housing.

Note: Both tapered roller bearing inner races are pulled off the differential housing in the same way.





Fig. 4 Pressing on tapered roller bearing inner race

Note: The tapered roller bearing inner races for the transmission housing and clutch housing are pressed on with the same press tools.





Fig. 5 Pulling tapered roller bearing outer race out of transmission housing
A - Counter support, e.g. Kukko 22/2
B - Internal puller 46 to 58 mm, e.g. Kukko 21/7





Fig. 6 Pressing tapered roller bearing outer race into transmission housing
- Support transmission housing with tube 3345 directly below bearing mounting.





Fig. 7 Drilling out rivet heads
- Drill out rivet heads with 12 mm drill from countersunk side and drive rivet out with drift.

Note: Clean differential before and after drilling. Protect tapered roller bearing from metal particles.





Fig. 8 Pressing off final drive gear
