Changing Gearbox Problem

Do I have to dimantle the gearbox to fix it, or can it be done by taking out the oil seal and the bearing underneath it? I be grateful for any advice. Peter

You wont be able to access the bearing via the oil seal, when you remove the seal you will have a metal flange part of the casing that sits between the bearing and seal, only way to access that is to take box apart
you want to avoid taking the box apart as that will require a ford special tool to remove 5th gear

There is no room under the gear to fit a standard puller and by default they are very very tight
take a look at my pic with the ford tool in place
it doesnt highlight it very well but the gap between 5th gear and casing is a mm or so if that

if you modify it so the feet actually clear underneath then that will leave such small amounts of metal it will just bend the feet or snap
for the record i own a variety of 3 legged pullers and 2 prong ones and none of them even come close lol

what I can say is that I did bend it in the proses :)I think it was about 2mm thick, and 10mm wide. and it was a pain, when in need, you use the tools awailable right
I belive I loosend the gearhousing and vedged it slightly, to force it slightly up before, and then place the puller afterwards.
