Mettlen Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi, I'm trying to take the tracta drive shafts out of the centre bevel boxes in order to remove the gear box and I was wonder if anyone had the special tool ' 'Extractor FV121334', the drawing or could provide me with a dimensioned sketch so I can get one made? Additionally, has anyone made a tool for removing the torsion bars shown in V613. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi, I'm trying to take the tracta drive shafts out of the centre bevel boxes in order to remove the gear box Do you want to take the transfer box out? About 16 years ago on that actual Saracen, I fitted that gearbox along with an engine (engine was missing previously) for a customer, and know it is possible to remove the gearbox only.

Mettlen Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Hi Richard, its not the same saracen, I also have a mkI that I'm stripping. All the internals have already been removed apart from the transfer/gearbox. I'm desperate to finish the strip before winter so I can spend the time in the garage refurbishing parts for fitment on the mk2 next spring!

hippotastic Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 it was a long time ago now that i removed the drive shafts from the center bevel boxes but if i remember right they had a snap ring holding them in place on the inner spline. i asked chatty at the tank museum (bovington) how to remove them and he said just yank the f#####g things out...i think i had a pair of buckrake tines and prised from either side of the shaft at the same time. just when you think you are about to break something they just pop out. some may think im probably talking bo####ks again but it worked easy for me. no need for fancy pullers etc on half the jobs people struggle with.
