I’ve nearly got the LDU gearbox disassembled. However, I’m having trouble with the gear on the motor output shaft. Haven’t figured a way to grip it with the slide hammer. The only lip on it is beveled and I dont want to damage something that goes 16K RPM. Anyone have Experience, tips or ideas?

Thanks all. Tom I had thought about the jubilee clip technique but haven’t tried it yet. The other two gears (intermediary and diff) came out without too much trouble using gentle force.

There is no lip to grab on the interior of the gear shaft.

Tom, what’s up with those 4.5:1 kits? Last I heard from ZEV you still aren’t selling them due to unanticipated noisiness. Want to send me one for further testing? 😀

Thought I had already replied to this thread but apparently not. Tom's advice of using a jubilee clip (or 'hose clamp') did the trick. I was able to tighten the clamp around the gearshaft, and grab the clamp with the slide hammer. I was then able to remove the lockring and bearing by clamping the gearshaft between some blocks of wood in the vice, and unscrew the lockring with lockring wrench.
