Replacing these gears normally requires splitting and removing final drive housing or removing the cab to access top trans cover plate. Before doing that again I wanted to see if I could remove the gears without going through all that work. Having no way to pull the gear with brgs. I went to work and drilled and tapped the short PTO shaft that it is splined into it and attached a slide hammer. Them degreased the splines on the shaft and internal splines in the gear. Applied JB Weld to the splines and assembled the parts and left them sit for 24 hr. Tried the slide hammer this afternoon and pulled the gear and brgs. out. Yes it takes some time to do it this way but will save a day or two labor and Mr. Farmer was very pleased with the savings. Maybe someone else has another method of removal that works also. I am happy with this method and the work it saved, Rod.
