lotus54 Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konrad Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 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!

lotus54 Posted March 22 Author Report Share Posted March 22 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?

Yes, that works to remove the left-hand locker shaft nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
