[AJD] 530 Transmission

[Louis]

You can take a cut off tool and slice the length of the race.  All you
have to do is get most of the way through, so you don't touch the shaft,
then finish it off with a couple of hits from a chisel, in the cut.
This will relieve the race so it slides off easily.

giving me 
some problems and thought that you guys may have a quick and easy
solution.  
On the sliding shaft, there is a race on the end of the shaft that fits
into 
the bearing in the transmission drive gear. The race has a beveled
shoulder so I 
cannot get a puller to grab onto the race. In a second effort, I heated
the 
race and attempted to drive it off the shaft but that didn't work
either.  Any 
suggestions ?   Can I weld on the race without messing up the splined
shaft??
 
Thanks

Ken,
If it is the bearing that I am thinking of...having done two 50s and a
530, I 
think this is a press off, press on situation.  I had some hardware that
I 
could make into a press for the situation.  I doubt pullers would have
ever 
worked.  It came off hard all three times.  Good luck, John
