Extracting a tail end bearing bush out of a Type 2 gearbox
I would like to replace the tail end bearing bush with the gearbox in situ. Any idea where I can source a suitable bush puller?
Seen them for American cars, but these are too large to fit through the 30mm inner diameter of the bush.

I did this, I wouldn’t recommend it
I did it with the gearbox off the car and still ended up having to remove the tailhousing in the end, not sure it was worth all the effort
(This was a type9, but would assume quite similar)

I dont think they can be done in situ on these boxes. I have only ever done one and had to make up a threaded puller to suit. There was no way it could have been done on the car and like Adam I removed the tailshaft to do it. This was on a 2000e box which is similar. Getting the new one in wasn't much easier either as I recall.
