Great video demonstrating that the T90 rebuild is a DIY task for anyone who would try to tackle it. Mildly concerned that you skipped making sure that you have 12-18 thousandths of end play on the countershaft gear (per the service manual). This was the biggest problem with my recent T90 rebuild using modern reproduction parts. The rest went just as quickly as your video shows, it truly was just that easy, but between the Omix countershaft gear and the Omix washer set, something in the stack was so thick that there was zero end play on the gear and the gear would not spin without a great deal of effort when dry fit. The washers had to individually be sanded down with very fine sandpaper on a glass reference surface to finally obtain the clearance. From what I understand, this is common these days. (Not a dig at KW at all, they're great to work with, but they supply what's available and the quality control on what's available is often spotty at best.)

I’ve built a ton of these and never had a single issue with end play or had to sand any washers. Regardless of where the parts came from. That is very strange.the kw kit comes with 2 different thickness washers. I generally just match up the one closest to the one that I took out. Grandpa and gi’s in the field weren’t getting out the dial indicator. If it’s spins it’s good to go. 👍 that’s the beauty of these old cast iron units.

Nice work. It's cool you make these videos. It will be super helpful for people attempting this on their own.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

Thank you! Hopefully it helps someone out…. And it’s also nice for me to look back at in the future when I forget what I did a couple years ago. 😆

When you pressed on the bearing for the input shaft, does it drag on that splash shield at all? Mine seems to have a slight drag.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

If it’s bent at all I could see it rubbing a little. Make sure the shoulder is facing away from the bearing. If it’s installed backwards it will definitely rub 👍

[@matttraceyspencer1148]

It's slight and I did put the shield on in the correct direction. I'm going to run it.@@redeyecafegarage7484

[@johnatkinson7103]

Beware he flips the bearing over on the main shaft so the indention on the bearing is facing away from the threads. Saw it after I installed mine. Unfortunately he does not mention it

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

It doesn’t matter which way that bearing goes. Some bearings come with a snap ring groove some do not. You can’t put the rear bearing in backwards. That’s why I didn’t talk about it. You can’t mess it up.

[@nunrleft]

@redeyecafegarage7484 then why did you change yours and not mention it.

[@clintcunliffe6729]

Did you put the first bearing on upside down than change it without telling us?!?

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

There is no upside down. Some brands of rear bearings have a snap ring groove some do not. There is no snap ring used on the rear of a t90 so it can go in either way. On the front the snap ring groove does matter

[@nunrleft]

​@redeyecafegarage7484 if there's no wrong way why did you change yours?

[@nunrleft]

He puts the rear bearing in backwards then changes it without even mentioning it. Set me back an hour with my rebuild. Reading comments now he knew about it yet didn’t bother to edit the video to indicate his screw up. Because of this I'll never subscrive to this channel or by anything from Kaiser Willys.

[@redeyecafegarage7484]

The direction of the bearing does not matter. You can put it in either way. The snap ring grove is not used. It’s impossible to put it in backwards because of that. I’ve replied to other comments with that information. Feel free to reach out anytime you have questions or are unsure about something

[@clintcunliffe6729]

Unless i missed it, you didn't mention installing the oil slinger.

[@peashooterc9475]

Oil slinger was deleted on later units.
