How To A-833 4 Speed Rebuild pics
FYI, aside from an expansion screw set, as outlined in the original rebuild artical, there is another way to get that reverse idler gear shaft out (there is no way that pounding it out with a long punch at a severe angle would work... like the service manual says). The manual refers this job to special tool C-3638.
I first tried a free Ball Joint rental from my local O’Reilly’s... but the C-clamp was too shallow, and wouldn’t have been wide enough anyway. So I hit Menards and found a $15 8” C-clamp that was perfect.
I used a couple of properly sized sockets, and a copper pipe extension for extra leverage on the weeny crank handle.
Once I put a little torque on the apparatus, the shaft popped and slide right out.
