    Gearbox layshaft removal

    Can someone confirm which side the gearbox layshaft removes from please N/S or O/S? Also how do you get it to move? We have a slid hammer with a bolt that can go in the shaft.

    Bang away till it comes out? OOO ERR!

    Thanks guys, we couldn't work out which side the shaft came out. Hence the question as we didn't want to do something we would maybe break?

    Anyways got the slide hammer on it gave it 5 or 6 good pulls on the n/s & out it came. Ill start another thread with what was done today which I'm really chuffed with whats been done.

    A real big thanks for Paul Beazer giving up his Saturday off.
