A833 rear seal & bushing removal/installation

[French demon]

Hello guys

What's the easier and better way to remove and install the yoke seal on a A833 without the Mopar special tools?

Regular screwdriver and a socket that is a little smaller than the seal and a hammer is how I do it with no problems

You should replace the bushing also.

Thanks a lot...

Ok. I found the bushing on the Brewer's performance website

Is it tricky to remove and install?

You WILL need the special tool for the bushing install. I took mine to someone who had the tool.

Ok, got it.
In fact, as I have a '66 26 spline output shaft A833, it's this one :

But I have to find something similar to make the job.
and have a nice day...

Remove the tail shaft use a 1 1/16 socket use a heat gun on the outside of the tail shaft and hammer the bushing out

Pull the tail shaft housing, take it to a shop that has the proper sized drivers, and have them pressed in and out. Quick job and pretty straight forward.

Thank you very much guys, but now I realize that the tail shaft housing has to be removed from the main case....

Is it possible to remove the tail shaft housing without the mainshaft coming with it?

I'm a total newbie in transmissions and dismanteling the gearbox in two exceeds my meager skills.
I think that I will only replace the tailshaft seal

No, tail shaft housing will NOT unbolt and slide off the back. You have to remove the side cover assy & forks, then remove the mainshaft/tailshaft as an assembly.

Run over to MyMopar.com and download a copy of the service manual, they are free. Some of them over there got there because of the guys right here

Some of them, you have to settle for a year ahead or behind, or Plymouth/ vs Dodge, etc. So check both listings.

Thanks Dan. Very useful to have the opinion of a specialist
I’m not going to embark on such a complex job.

Next week, I will order some parts from you. I'm preparing my list... ;)

Hi.
Of course, I've already downloaded the FSM and I saw removing the tailshaft housing involves the complete disassembly of the gearbox

 

[plymouth4onthefloor]

the bushing is made like a puzzle piece, find the seal and clip it of with a screw driver, then you can pull it easy. its a tube made of a steel plate and not welded.

 

[Newbomb Turk]

I though there was tool that allowed you to change the bushing without disassembling the gear box?

 

[plymouth4onthefloor]

you dont need to disassemble the tranny, crack the bushing with a small screwdriver, then take a bigger one and open the "puzzle" line. See the fine atop the blue line.

Is the tailshaft bushing even bad?
