AE86 from Portugal (restoring gearbox now...)

[Homem Bomba]

Hi guys,

After a lot of time I'm back with the rebuild, now focusing on the more "delicate" aspects, namely diagnostic of the mainshaft, gears and bearings. During this time I have been sparing to buy some tools I needed:

->Bearing Puller + Extensions
->Feeler Gauge
->Dial Indicator + Base
->Vise

As always, I have posted some more videos of the rebuild, so that they can be of use to any others trying to repair their gearboxes. I have been doing this from the beginning, so check out the past videos to track the full rebuild process!

Here is an explanation of what is a bearing puller:

And also how to extend the reach of the tool without having to spend a lot of cash in extensions (believe me, they are costly!)

An explanation of what is a Feeler Gauge and how to use it:

Measuring the thrust clearances of the gears in the mainshaft, according to the technical manual:
