March 22, 20242 yr 2015 Explorer I need to replace the clutch fixer shaft and bearing. I removed circlip and I assume after heating the case, it should just tap out- bearing and shaft? It did not come out easily tapping from other side, so thought I would ask before trying again, perhaps with a slide hammer.
March 22, 20242 yr So does this make you a fixer shaft fixer? 😉 Although getting the old bearing out is somewhat difficult, getting the new bearing back in is even more difficult! Lots about it here: https://www.ossa-efi.com/home/engine/gearbox/locker-shaft
March 22, 20242 yr Author Thanks for the great info! I did not know there were solid shafts. This is a 15 and I will check, but probably has that. Since it is a sealed bearing- I will inspect again and may just leave it in place. I assume to remove clutch nut on this model you install the M5 screw to push against the end of the shaft, rather than jamming a torx tip in like the older ones?
