All in - pulling the 4.6 engine and trans to fix oil leaks once and for all

Lovin’ the clutch spring compression tools. Fabulous!

To be honest I don’t bother extracting the output shaft support needle roller bearing from the F-brake drums anymore (never seen a spalled one yet), there’s too much risk of cracking the aluminium in my opinion.



Anyway, it’s easy enough to clean and relubricate in-situ.

If you do decide to remove it, make sure it goes back in with the rounded end first (i.e. with the part marking uppermost against the snap ring).

Sounds good to me Phil. I'll leave it in.
