OK, I finally got the spline coupler off the armature shaft. It took welding a large 5/8" nut on and using an impact on and off to get it to finally break it loose. Motor's in good shape, cleaned it up, put in a new tail bearing, and I am good to go! Or, so I thought! Installed new bearing on the new input shaft and found that it would bind before it was fully seated in the housing.
The gears were not meshing. Input shaft is 19 spline with 21 tooth gear. LVS showed three different input shafts. I ordered one for my year model, which showed the large gear. What I got was a gear that measured 1.4" OD while the original was 1.5"OD. LVS said they probably sent the incorrect part. They were very gracious and sent me a replacement. Now I find that the replacement measures 1.530"OD. Just enough to throw the shaft off center. Has anyone else run into this problem?
