for the tools, goto harbor freight store and get anything you will need real cheap.

do you remember under what parts breakdown it was under because under mt differential gear they break down every part BUT the vss gear (it is sold with the oe diff).

anyways I just finally got tired of bothering with it all and am taking the old diff and new to a friend who owns a 4-wheel drive shop... they are gonna take care of it for me today after work... then I can finally get my tranny back together after all these delays for parts or whatnot. :PDT_bud:

ok thanks for the heads up appreciate the help... apparently the accord/ prelude they do not break it down like that. I just hope they dont break it when they put it on the new diff. :PDT_nunu:

Mine is the same way.....part of the diff.

Just try to use a little heat on the ring/bearings if you can. It'll help a little taking them off......it'll help a lot putting them back on. I did not need any force at all.....the speed gear and bearing just slipped on.

I did, however, chip some teeth bad enough on the speed gear to make the vss gear sound really noisy. So I just took it to a belt sander and grinded the gear down to make the gear sharp and not cracked. It still turns the vss without a problem after taking about a millimeter off (and it spins pretty quiet as well).
