Fitted a new drive belt and still got no drive, double checked the clutch and it is not slipping.
Have taken the drum partially apart to look at the ring gear and it is cracked (see photo)
Anyone know how to remove the ring gear, there is no where to lever?
Did notice that if I held the opposite end of the centre shaft with vice grips I could rotate the ring gear in both directions by hand, so I think this is where the "slip" is coming from.
Can't see how the ring gear wouldn't slip tho as there doesn't appear to be a key way or splines to stop it from turning.
Looked at the part list and the replacement ring gear on TMS but it is unclear.
So does anyone know how to remove the ring gear without breaking it further, and does it have splines or key way of some sort to make it turn the centre shaft.
Currently got it soaking in RP7 to help removal.
One last question the bearings are not the best, can you go to any bearing shop for replacements??
