[Fot] TR type A OD

[Bill Tobin]

Good advice Greg.
A trick I use when installing the oil pan with the engine in the car: I screw 4 threaded studs into the block, 2 on either side. Loc Tite them in. Then it's easy to hold the pan in place with one hand and start the nuts on the studs with the other. Then install the rest of the bolts. Saves fumbling and nasty words.
OBTW: Erie has gotten about 5 FEET of snow since Christmas morning! I'm 25 miles south and have a dusting. Lake Effect, you know.
Cheers, Bill

  Greg, use permatex #3 or super 300 on the brake ring.
  I learned at a fairly young age to use a gasket cement on one side of the gaskets, like High Tack, and a coating of grease on the other.
  That way if you goof it will come back apart with no problem and the gasket will remain in place. 


  FYI my 2 cents worth

    All,


    Thanks for the responses. The OD came apart this morning. I took the main case off and removed the bridge pieces. Then I put  the rear case in a vice, applied some heat to the brake ring and a brass punch separated it from the rear case. Easy. The person that rebuilt this into previously used copious amounts of silicon on all surfaces. I've found plenty of small chucks in various orifices. 


    Thanks again

        I am attempting to rebuild an A type OD over the holiday weekend. I tried to separate the rear OD housing from the main OD housing after removing the rear output flange and speedo drive. Once i removed the 6 nuts and washers, I had to tap the studs with a brass drift to get the rear housing to separate from the main housing. But now i can't get the rear OD housing to come completely off. I can get about a 1/4" gap between the rear and main housing but it won't come all the way off. What am I doing wrong?

        Thanks. Greg
