TroyBrock Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 Hey that looks like mine! Haha So Hinson basket and such has to go. Was unable to split the cases today because I forgot to zap the flywheel nut off while at my buddy's house. I'm going back tomorrow to finish the job. The 4 screws that hold the 2 thin metal brackets behind the basket wouldn't break lose with PB blaster and a tap of a hammer, ended up stripping 1 on each and stripped screw removal tool just ended up drilling them out. Any ideas on how to get them out now? Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 Hinson makes a good basket. But that's all. You need the mattoon HD bushing and backing plate with the HD bolts that you need to drill the basket and run the right size tap Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 And those 2 screws you need an impact driver. But if anything, leave em the way the are if there to tight. The don't do anything. I throw those and that keeper in the trash. The bearing has a ring on it. So it doesn't hold anything. Quote
TroyBrock Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 I didn't think I could split the cases with them on there. I used an impact driver which is what stripped the first 2. I don't think I'll reuse anything that comes out if this axis just because if the risk factor. That shift star looks normal so does that mean the transmission hasn't been modded? Quote

You need the mattoon HD bushing and backing plate with the HD bolts that you need to drill the basket and run the right size tap In the 15yrs that I've had my hinson.. I've only replaced one backing plate They're only 20.00 from hinson vs the 50.00 that mattoon wants. Also, their newer plates seem stronger then the one that came with the basket. Hinson cushions on the other hand are complete garbage and are trashed in about 5hrs. Problem is people let the worn cushions go.. and you end up with a mess like this. Quote

I don't know what happened but I can assume it had something to do with the cheap screws that someone installed, I know they were not the original screws. The basket isn't badly damaged but I don't know if I want to run it or even if I can because one thread might be messed up. Quote
shanYE west Posted April 27, 2014 Report Posted April 27, 2014 If I had to guess.. cushions wore out and they were not replaced in a timely matter. It beat the backing plate and fasteners to death and you ended up with the aftermath. Quote
TroyBrock Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 I can take a picture of the cushions and post it later, they didn't look worn but I wouldn't know what worn cushions look like. The cheap screws had to have had something to do with it too, they were raised heads, they didn't sitt down in the plate like the factory ones and I think they might have been hitting something as it rotated, breaking them off, I just found out that the jugs and head I got with the bottom end were not on the bottom end of this motor. neither the head, jugs or bottom end were ever part of one motor. All purchased separately on craiglist and then sold to me together. Quote
TroyBrock Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 Nothing is easy taking this bottom end apart, got the flywheel nut off but forgot puller so now I have to go back over to my buddy's house again. I still have to figure out how to get the screws out of those stupid tabs. Quote
TroyBrock Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Posted April 27, 2014 Drill the head off. Then take the rest out with vise grips or pliers? I figured that's what I was gonna have to do Quote
TroyBrock Posted April 28, 2014 Author Report Posted April 28, 2014 Got the cases split. Showed Surfjag the transmission he says it's stock. I found the other backing plate bolt head in the transmission along with other chunks of metal which I have no idea where they came from. Bottom of the cases have "88 Break" poorly etched into them, not sure why, jugs have "1" and "2" poorly etched into them like the person had to remember which side they went on other than that nothing unexpected happened. I'm going to thoroughly look everything over tomorrow to try to determine where those chunks came from. http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy107/TroyBrock/IMG_4844_zps272462d4.jpg Quote
Larry's Shee Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 I would use a sharp chisel on those screws. Go straight on to make a notch, then tap in direction to loose. Won't be shit to grab on after you drill head off, and it might not be loose or have loctite Quote
sheerider11 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Posted April 28, 2014 I was told by a guy that forgot as much as I knew twice over, Grind the bolt flat with light pressure. That'll sink a lot of heat into the bolt. Usually enough to free it up or melt off glue/loctite Then with cut off wheel grind a notch again slowly to re apply heat. Use flat head. I've only had that not work one time 1 Quote
