Hello all! I'm new to this site but definitely feel the information and knowledge base available here will be invaluable on my project.
I'm also new to the ATV world. Although I've done several frame-off restorations on 4-wheeled vehicles (3 jeeps, a '66 T-Bird, a '76 Pacer, a '39 Chevy pick-up and a '73 Opel GT) 6x6 ATVs are a completely new experience to me. I recently aquired a early 1970's SKipper in pretty decent shape. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much in the way of information on it, and the transmission and driveline appears to be someonewhat unique compared to most of what I've seen on this site (it's not a T20).
This may be a long shot, but I'm hoping someone here may have some expertise that may help me out. I'm trying to remove the black bearing collar that supports the LH output shaft. The two set screws have been removed and the collar moves freely on the shaft. However it will absolutely NOT come off of the end of the shaft even when using a beaing puller. It hits what feels like a hard stop that prevents it from coming off. Yet you can loot at the shaft and collar through the keyway and can't see evidence of anything that would prevent it from coming off.
Three of us (all quite mechanically proficient and experienced) have spent several hours trying to figure it out, but it's stumped us all. We're either all somehow overlooking the obvious...or there's a special trick used on this application that we're not able to figure out.
The torque converter can't be removed or replaced until the collar comes off first.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!!!
