Type 9 rebuild, how much of a bitch is it?
As per title really, there is abit of movement on my input shaft and i would rather rebuild it now, when its not installed in the car!
Using one of these kits here, does anyone know what its like to
do?here
How hard can it be?

Hi, if you get hold of the Haynes book on gearbox O/haul it covers the Type 9. I did mine and its very easy if you follow the book. HTH Ray

cool thanks Ray,
Do you need any specialist tools? and roughly, how long did it take you?
Cheers
Jas

Its normal to have some movement on the input shaft 
They arent that difficult to rebuild. You'll need some gear pullers, pin punches and some large circlip pliers though.

Hi Flak, can't think where you need gear pullers!!
Jasongray5
You will need some circlip pliers, and I found a good blow lamp to heat up the casings made it easier to remove and replace the bearings. Think I did
mine in a day, not a big job! I would agree with David though, regarding the movement in the drive shaft, you do get side to side movement, as one end
is supported by the bearing in the flywheel, so you are just relying on one bearing without that. Cheers Ray

You need a puller to pull 5th gear off the layshaft.....

Ah! yes quite correct, long time since I did mine, but thinking about it I used a couple of tyre levers I think, certainly don't have a puller.
