List of tools to rebuild be3 box

[kyepan 291]

Hi there,

 

Planning to strip and recondition a be3 with dad in the new year, he's done plenty of mini boxes, but we need to know what tools ( also preferred brand) that we'll need to complete the job properly. If anyone can help with a list of be very grateful.

 

Cheers

Nothing that specialised really. A 12 point socket for the main shaft nut, it’s an odd size maybe 33mm but don’t buy one from that. I’ve an old Britool imperial socket I use that’s a good fit. A set of proper roll pin punches is useful for the selector fork pins.

Jack that link is brilliant, and entire guide! I'll have a good read through, sent it on to my Pa too.

28mm halfords 12pt 1/2" drive socket is what I bought.

 

pin punches and pullers as mentioned, as well as 11, 16 and 19mm sockets.

 

you'll need a low and standard range torque wrench, a vernier or digital caliper with depth gauge for the input shaft shim checking, give me a shout when you get to that bit as I have a selection of shims, though if you are re-using the original shaft you might be ok with the original shim.

And ThreeBond 1211 to seal it.

And a hammer

No need to remove the pin on the main selector shaft it all comes out sliding it out, I can have one stripped in around 5 to 10 mins (Impact gun), longest bit is cleaning it up
