Hello professionals. I’m having a hard time getting a gear off a countershaft in a transmission.
It’s an interference fit and the manual warns it will take up to 20 tons to press it off.
However, I’ve tried 20 and a 100 ton presses with heat on the gear core and still won’t budge.
It did break a few teeth off unfortunately, so I stopped there for safety and to keep from ruining the shaft.
I’m hoping for some tips or tricks from the machinist community of professionals - someone has to have faced and conquered this kind of issue.
