I thought I read where you have to cut something out to access this.

If the TRS application is fitted with a Brog Warner (Velvet Drive) tranny, the tailstock bearing is replaceable through the bellows. (held in w/snap ring)
If fitted with the MercTrans, the motor/trans must be pulled to replace the bearing. Although I have replaced it by removing the gimbal housing but I'll never do that again, -huge can o worms...

That is great news, I have the Borg Warner. I heard the bearing starting to howl last year right before I put it up.

replace it!!! I spent two days trying to seperate(pull) the motor with a seized bearing, I finally had to make a tool to release the bearing from the tail housing to get it apart. bad memory

good luck

TRS alignment tool

TRS has no gimbal bearing, just a trans tailstock bearing that's fixed.

The TRS has a rather long input shaft so it's not too bad getting it to line up. Here's a pic of a BW fitted with a TRS tailstock.
The TRS alignment tool inserts into the tailstock of the Transmission and align's the transmission with the bell-housing of the gimble. It is similar to the Alpha/Bravo tool except it has a large round disc on the end that couples into the inner hole of the bell housing. Alignment has been achieved when the disc lies completely flat with the surface of the bell housing that bolts to the outdrive. I will take a picture of it Monday when i get to the shop.

Hey, thanks for the shot Scott. I keep forgetting to take the picture. That would be the creature. PS- I think your gaskets broke! :evilb:
