TURBO's L52 (rebuild in progress)

then I pressed the input (or front main shaft) bearing off

(flat side of bearing separator towards bearing)

TURBO · October 19, 2011, 08:56:42 PM

the "gear spline" pieces can be pressed off, so as to clean the splines between them... but that bearing splitter i bought wont work to get all of them off unless I grind it, and I figure since it's not like I waisted the counter shaft or anything it's not like there was a lot of metal flowing threw the oil, Figure I will just give it a good wash in some cleaner and call this part of the job good.

remove 5th gear detent ball and spring,
punch out roll pin
pull 5th gear shift rod

TURBO · October 20, 2011, 07:53:57 AM

I used the same 3/16 inch pin punch as before

TURBO · October 20, 2011, 07:59:53 AM

Remove the 12mm bolt holding the reverse idler shaft's locking tab.
Slide the idler shaft out and catch the reverse idler gear.

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 03:38:29 PM

next thing i did was remove the reverse idler linkage

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 04:14:19 PM

Next thing I did was start taking apart the top cover... this should almost be it's own section but... it's not that bad

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 04:25:41 PM

I started with this 17mm bolt, and started taking apart all the detents, and interlock pins out

This detent is actually the detent for 3rd/4th gears

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 04:29:13 PM

broken spring

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 04:33:23 PM

next is the 9.5mm (0.375") detent ball

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 04:35:03 PM

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 05:03:05 PM

Next thing I did was knock out the freeze plug using a dead blow hammer on the 3rd / 4th shift fork

TURBO · October 21, 2011, 05:12:42 PM

Then I punched out the roll pin and removed 3rd/4th shift fork

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 10:51:46 AM

Thee elusive interlock pin...

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 10:54:58 AM

....watch as she stalks her prey...

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 10:57:55 AM

Kroikie!!! that tarp never stood a chance!!!

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 11:20:26 AM

Next thing to come out is the 1st/2nd shift rod and fork
so I drove out the roll pin for the shift block, and used the shift fork to hammer out the next freeze plug

.

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 12:23:07 PM

DON'T LOSE THIS PIECE!!!

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 12:38:06 PM

then i slid the shift rod back in it's home so i could remove the shift fork's roll pin and not put any weird stresses on the aluminum housing...

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 12:54:36 PM

remove shift fork and shift block

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 01:05:31 PM

the detent for 1st/2nd sits above the shift rail when it's installed in the truck

TURBO · October 22, 2011, 01:07:12 PM

'Nother broken spring

then take out the interlock pin

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 02:53:26 PM

then i took off the Reverse "E" clip,
and pounded out the freeze plug

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 03:18:16 PM

the reverse light switch stops you from putting the reverse gear shift rod all the way back in it's home to pound out the roll pin...
either take it out with a wrench or leave it...
i just left it

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 03:56:21 PM

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 04:12:08 PM

I magnetized my 3/16" pin punch and extracted the Reverse detent ball
had to also use a hook to get the spring out

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 05:23:00 PM

next is to take off the 5th gear "E" clip
and then the 5th gear connector piece

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 05:29:34 PM

it was kinda awkward to punch 5th gear freeze plug out so i did it like this... probably not the best way, but it worked

TURBO · November 02, 2011, 05:55:48 PM

remove 5th / reverse shift block
