I have taken our older 1999 VF3 spindle motor out due to a squeeling lower bearing. I sent the motor to a rewind shop to have them hot tank it and replace the bearings. I took the transmission as well, and thats where things have slid sideways. My assumption was the motor shop had an induction heater...well they do but it is table top mounted for warming bearing only. Unfourtunately the old wheel puller with torch trick was used to no avail. I am guessing there is a .002-.003 interferance fit and will require some force to remove as well as some heat. Since this much heat was alredy used (sigh) I feel compelled to see this all the way thru as my guess is the seal is probably done. I originall wanted to deburr the corners of the gear as low gear has some nicked teeth from shifting gone wrong in the past..bad mac valve and such. Anyone have expiriance in removing this pully from the bottom of the transmission?
