NV3550 Rebuild

[@bryangardner4370]

great job, so little information for DIY guys, check for parts before you tear down (some are no longer available...ANYWHERE) use a rubber band on the hidden bearings for reassembly,

beautiful camerawork on this one 👍

Thank you!

How do you replace the bearing behind the output shaft seal (16:32 min)? You can do it the same way you replace the output shaft seal?

[@Auguste88]

No you would need to knock it out with a punch or a bearing sledge. I have yet to pull mine out, my other transmission is good so far. Good luck!

@@Auguste88 Thanks, a bad bearing like the one un your video can cause an oil leak? I replaced the output Shaft seal on my Jeep but it's still leaking oil and I punch the bearing cap with a screwdriver so I'm thinking that can be the problem

[@Auguste88]

@@danisibaja that could be hard to say. Although the cap on the bearing is there to retain oil against the balls to protect and limit friction. Not sure to what extent a puncture in the cap would factor in your leak problem. I would change it. Don't forget you need to apply liquid gasket on that cover as well.

@@Auguste88 ok, thank you for your help and time!

Well done. Do you know of any way to get the reverse idler support bolt back in while it still mounted. I thought I was pulling out the fill plug.

[@Auguste88]

Mine just screw back in. The support treaded hole need to line up with the case hole and it should screw right in. If the transmission is still all together I would try to line it up with a screw driver and a flashlight. If it's an option it might be easier with that side facing up. Good luck!

@Auguste88 Got it, used 2 small flat heads to walk it into position in the bolt hole. then some wire to hold it position and then treaded the bolt and pulled the wire at the same time. It was a pain but so happy I didn't have to drop the transmission.

Thanks for sharing. Looking to tackle this over the next couple weeks 👍
