I'm in the process of rebuilding my t-56 and replacing all the bearings due to a noise. I had a spinning bearing race in the front cover and the large taper on the main was spinning. I find all the bearings to be KOYO and all the races are still Timken.

I guess the last person in there wasn't as motivated as I am

I've gotta get the race out of the input shaft, I'm thinking a Blind hole puller I can rent from autozone might do the trick???

was the noise there when the clutch was let out? And went away when you engaged it? If so I have the exact same noise and I think that race is the problem. I will be checking back often.

Could you post any pictures of the front cover and race/bearing?

I've used an inside pilot puller and some heat, to remove the bearing race.

OTC-7318 as an example




A Timken SET16 will have the correct mainshaft bearing and race to fit back into the input shaft, available at most Autozone stores.

The Pilot puller was my other guess, wasn't sure which would work better. Thanks for the advice!

I ordered the premium rebuild kit with the timken bearings and races.

LS1powerhouse02: Yeah that is the noise i was having. I could hear it at and stand still with the clutch out, and it would go away when it was pressed in. I had an earlier thread that i posted about the noise. I have a few pics from dissassembly and some vids too.
