lastlegwarrior350 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just wondering if anyone had any previous experience with this issue or not. Pressing the bearing in was no problem...but now whenever I go to put the idler gear back on the shaft, it won't slide onto the shaft. Its like the shaft end is too large or the bushing is too small. Now its not by a large amount, it just enough to stop the idler gear from sliding onto the shaft... I've never ran into a bushing issue like this, so I'm looking for some input or tricks. Any ideas? And just for the record, the bushing was removed and replaced properly at trusted local machine shop. Thanks in advance for the help.

locogato11283 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I've never had an issue with one. You're sure they didn't burr it up or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Or maybe the end of shaft is burred from sloppy bushing causing weird push against washer/C clip. Just a thought. I don"t have to worry, PO welded the washer to shaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastlegwarrior350 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just wanted say thanks for the tips. Larry's shee, you nailed it...just worked over the end of the idler shaft for a moment and BOOM!! The idler gear slid right on, smooth as could be. Thanks again.

trickedcarbine Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yahtzi! The wobble from a loose bushing can get the shaft a little funky and it seems as though you figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
