Re: pic: Banebots carrier plates problem & solution
Do not run with the hardened plates without at least welding the pins. Get replacement plates and have someone wait while you're pulling the trannies. You should be able to disassemble from the front mounting plate if you can get at all 4 retaining screws. you shouldn't have to take out the front mounting plate/output shaft. This may simplify you changeover. Then be certain the tranny housing is pushed up square to the front mounting plate before lightly tightening the retaining screws, turn the driveline to help center the housing with the front plate and tighten screws carefully. Check that the sytem is turning easily, as any misalignment will cause binding in the gears. Good Luck!!
