Turn the housing over and use a rawhide hammer to hit the end of the output shaft to remove the output subas- sembly from the REPTO housing. With the housing positioned so the cylinder block mating surface is down, use a hammer and brass punch to drive the bearing outer races out of the output shaft housing bore.
