Hi. All
I finally figured out how to get the OD out of my BJ7. Now for getting the =
new one installed. I found two rings sitting on the output shaft which I be=
lieve are fitted to the adapter plate. (See pics attached). The problem is =
going to be how to keep them in place while maneuvering the new OD into pla=
ce. I was thinking of using either white lithium grease or wheel bearing gr=
ease.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Len Berkowitz

<div>Please, please for your own sanity-remove the trans now from the =
engine-blocking the pan/rear plate and assemble the trans vertically to the=
 OD with OD leg in a vice. As the last two notes advised-do not try to do =
it in the car-it will never align or you will damage the bronze bushing in =
the case and that cannot be replaced unless line bored correctly!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It's not that difficult to do on the table-it just =
takes a bit of muscle and care. The lower the vice the better, or use a =
step stool and get up over the box solidly and lower it onto the OD...you =
will thank all of us if you do it that way, and curse yourself if you try =
to do it in the car. Hank</div>
