You're my hero! All the DIYs
 

You're my hero! All the DIYs are like, install your shifter now, and I'm like, I dunno how to do that, especially sine you need to fab **** up. (That seems to be the rule for all the steps, not just that)

how much did the bearing separator and puller cost you? did you really need the separator for the mainshaft bearing? mine usually will just come of by pulling(maybe i shouldn't do that?)

this is what i use to pull the bearings on the differential...(yes that is a cheap piece of crap harbor freight bearing splitter, and yes it's bent)

it does take a little elbow grease to keep the differential from turning the way i do it. i'll have to take a picture of how i put the differential bearings on without a press :)

I bought my bearing tools from McMaster-Carr and spent about $200. They have been a good investment though, as I have rebuilt a few transmissions with them.

From my experience, I have been able to pull the mainshaft end bearing by hand on all Honda/Acura transmissions, but the diff and countershaft bearings on D-series transmissions require the puller. Only the diff bearings in B-series trannies have required the puller so far as I have experienced.

I'm interested in seeing how you reinstalled the diff bearings. Bearings in oven and diff in freezer? I've done that before doing countershaft bearings. :)

I would really like to rebuild the HF tranny that I just got, just for peace of mind.

Dax, would you mind taking a look at the pics of the tranny I got and giving me your $0.02 worth?
