pinion gear question HELP!!!!!
I Just opened up my "46" Flathead engine case and the pinion gear slipped off the shaft without using a puller.
Is this normal?
One of my books says a puller is needed and the other book says all the gears on this shaft slip on and off.
Which is correct?
I'm thinking it needs to be pressed on because the book goes on to say when installing, push on to have measurement of 5/16 between the gear face and the case half I assume this is to keep tension on the right bearing sealing ring.
Your HELP and input is much appreciated. Thanks
