Success - Removal Instalation a833 tailhousing bushing
Just an FYI on removal and installation of the bushing... I didn’t find much on fabo except while the trans was installed.
I rented (free) a seal press kit from O’Reilly and they had the nearly perfect diameter attachment for removing and installing the tailshaft bushing. I used the one that was 1.750” to remove it.
I first gave it a wack or two with a 4 lb. hammer just to free it, then drove it the rest of the way into the tailhousing with my 12 ton press.
Installing was about the same, though I used a larger diameter for tapping the new bushing in straight just to get it started. I flipped it over so that the cone wasn’t forcing the bushing open, but the larger, flat side down against the bushing.
