Ring Gear Replacement.
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2020 9:36 pm
Slowly making my way through a list of things that need to be addressed. My nest big one will be starter gear grind. I am going to assume the ring gear teeth and possibly starter gear are worn so...
I’m good with pulling the tranny, supporting engine and that biz, but I’ve never actually r&r’d a ring gear from a flywheel.
Just flying by the seat of my pants I’d take a cut off wheel and carefully split the gear. Probably get it close and try busting it with a hammer/chisel.
Clean surfaces. Then I’d heat the ring gear to whatever I can get away with in the wife’s oven while she isn’t looking, because I’m going to assume it’s a shrink fit, and then drop it on. Reassemble.
In the ballpark or no?
