First, I enjoy reading these forums and appreciate the feedback I've received to previous questions. I'm working on the governor shaft of a B6000 to B200999 Model B. I want to change out the bearing next to the magneto drive flange.The service manual talks about using a "special tool" to remove the magneto drive flange, which looks to be pressed onto the shaft with a woodruff key in it.
I don't see a good way to use a gear puller or bearing separator on just the magneto drive flange. It looks like the teeth on the gear and pinion would be in the way of a bearing separator. I was also considering using a press to try to remove both the magneto drive flange and the gear and pinion at the same time, but considering how tight all the other press fits have been I thought that might be too much and will end up breaking something. Before I get too far into this, any good advice on how to proceed?
