Im still having trouble getiing the gear off to get to the seal i need to replace i read what i could find in the search section but i think im missing somthing. I got the 2 allen head screws out but now im stumped as to how the gear slides off so I can get to the seal. Thanks Oh yeah I have a 08 mb35

With the 2 allen heads bolts out, hit the gear with a either a rubber mallet or use a block of wood with a hammer. The gear should fall off of the cone toward the seal, allowing you to remove the cone from the shaft, followed by the gear.

Thanks Camo. Got The gear off but it seems like the key was rusted on the taper lock and the shaft and when i went to slowy open it up to remove it. It cracked I eventully had to just split it in half and even after that the one half was completly stuck on the shaft with the key way. i finally got iy off removed the spacer and set spring and got to the seal. Guess I'll have more parts on the way now. LOl

Look on the bright side, ya broke yours now instead of when ya went to reassemble it, like I did. I did find out that 2 things from it, (1) the part isn't expensive, (2) you can actually still use it with it broken in 2 pieces.

lol thanks. had the motor apart anyway to put the new cam in and that s not here yet so hopfully after i get the new seals ordered all the parts should be hear. so does the seal just lay back in their and reverse the rest of the proccess. do i put the gear and all that together then slide it over the key way??

Man, it's been awhile since I've done one, but seems like the seal is behind a snap ring. Gear goes on 1st, then cone & keyway together.

I got the snap ring out and the seal. So I put the gear on the shaft first then slid the cone on and just use the 2 allen screws to tighten it all toghether right. Thanks again for the help.

I'm assuming you've got the keyway in there also, so yeah that's it.

so apperntly i didnt get the seal out . i tried to press it out with just keeping the grease plug in and forcing it out but the seal is to blown. what i thought was the seal was just part of the rubber from the actual seal. so now whats the best and easiest way to get that out . i would like to not have to pull the whole shaft. let me know what ya thinkl

ok nevrmind that last post my buddy has a machine shop and he had a sela puller on hand got the whole seal ou this time . will post up when i get cam, timing key and seals put back toghether. thanks for the help camo.

Glad I could help.
