Reverse Idler Gear R & R-Huge Shortcut Posted by Roger D [Email] (#1121) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Roger D) on Thu, 11 Nov 2010 11:58:36 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I suppose the Cmyles of the world and other expert mechanics know this but I was amazed by. I've posted in the past about 2 days in the driveway on my back doing the reverse gear job. Pulling the brakes, axles, diff. etc. A non Saab mechanic just called and said he pulled the reverse idler gear in minutes-not hours. He only had to remove the side and back covers. You need 1/4" drive tools:, a 12" extension, 13mm socket and a swivel. Wrap the swivel in black tape to stiffen it. The thiness of the 1/4" extension will allow you to go THRU the diff and access the retaining plate bolt. You might need to rotate the diff a little to clear the ring gear bolts. The idler gear shaft doesn't come out all the way but far enough to get the gear out.
