Ok, I'm tearing down a friend's A130 that was pulled due to a no drive condition, and we're up to the part where we need to get the pinion shaft out. Now, the book hasn't arrived for this, yet, and we see there's a nut on the shaft, and I'm curious - how the heck do I get this nut off? I see it's got a crushed-into-the-keyway section, but I'm also curious as to which direction it spins off, and how to lock the shaft while I do this. I'm guessing that you can use the park pawl, but no idea if it's right or left hand threads :(
BTW, what are the popular problem areas in this thing? Heck, are there any? It all came apart decently enough, and it seems to be a nicely designed unit. Are there any common things that would cause a no drive on this? From what I was told, it had no drive in any of the gears or reverse. It sounds almost like the front pump went to heck, or something's just keeping it from building pressure...
Thanks! :)
