CRX HF Transmission Rebuild

[GasSavers_DaX]

Well, I got the 10-Ton bearing puller/pusher set for Christmas that I've been lusting over, so now I can start the rebuild on my HF transmission and complete the 5-speed conversion on my 4-Door DX. I'll document the project in this thread. Here's a teaser picture:

how much did the bearing separator and puller cost you? did you really need the separator for the mainshaft bearing? mine usually will just come of by pulling(maybe i shouldn't do that?)

this is what i use to pull the bearings on the differential...(yes that is a cheap piece of crap harbor freight bearing splitter, and yes it's bent)




it does take a little elbow grease to keep the differential from turning the way i do it. i'll have to take a picture of how i put the differential bearings on without a press

I bought my bearing tools from McMaster-Carr and spent about $200. They have been a good investment though, as I have rebuilt a few transmissions with them.

From my experience, I have been able to pull the mainshaft end bearing by hand on all Honda/Acura transmissions, but the diff and countershaft bearings on D-series transmissions require the puller. Only the diff bearings in B-series trannies have required the puller so far as I have experienced.

I'm interested in seeing how you reinstalled the diff bearings. Bearings in oven and diff in freezer? I've done that before doing countershaft bearings.

I would really like to rebuild the HF tranny that I just got, just for peace of mind.

Dax, would you mind taking a look at the pics of the tranny I got and giving me your $0.02 worth?
