Infraction Cannot take off this part!

[NSDmodify]

Hi everyone ,

So I am having a difficult time taking off a part. Long story short, I cracked the rear diff housing on the infraction so I ordered a new one but I cannot pull this cup shaft off to put it in my new housing. I have already opened up the set screw btw and it seems so locked on. Tried pliers already.

The pic of the cup is attached .why do they make it so tight

It isn’t pressed on that tight, it’s threadlocked on. You will need a small torch, usually butane or soldering iron that reaches at least 750 degrees of heat the outdrive up which then heats the threadlock enough to remove it.

Hold the cup carefully in a vise and tap the gear shaft lightly with a punch. it will come right out.

I have already removed the set screw , so are you saying they put so much loctight that the cup is practically glued onto the shaft ?

Yes.

Hold the cup carefully in a vise and tap the gear shaft lightly with a punch. it will come right out.

Hi

So I used a Allen hex the size of the shaft inside the cup instead of a punch because I don't have one, and put it on the ground where it would be able to be pushed out and used a hammer to hit it many times and fairly hard but it isn't bulging. What could be going on
Just for clarification , I am hitting the shaft with a punch from the cup side and not the gear side right ?

Correct
Maybe add some heat

Had the same problem: Heat it and then push it out .

Apply low amount of heat to the coupler and pry it off using two screwdrivers placed at 180 degrees apart.

I have a sight and slide brass and plastic punch set from my other hobby and I use that works perfect for this problem

Can get the same one from walmart for $13 bucks

I had the same with my outcast. Heat the cup with a small torch and it will fall right off. Just don't be stupid like I was then pick it up with your hands... takes a while for it to cool off.

Using heat is exactly what I had to do when changing bearings out in that same area for both front and rear. I used a soldering iron but the heat that needs to be applied will seem like a lot, it's needed to break down that Threadlock though.

take a large "-" screw driver put between the diffcase and the metal cap, hammer it in gently.
