    Here's a video of someone disassembling a Ford FM145 which has Mitsubishi internals and the steps look much the same. Skip the first 20 min to jump to the relevant portion. He uses hammers to remove some bearings. Not sure that's wisest with an aluminum case.

    Thank you so much. I figured it out slowly but surely.

    Nice work! I’m curious, how are you removing the center main shaft bearing?

    Sorry for the late reply, my plate is full with work at the moment. I'll post some pictures of how I got it out soon.

    I'm not pulling the bearings. I mainly did this for the education. I'm not in the best financial situation to rebuild it right now. The disassembly of the transmission was an exercise done out of boredom and to gain the confidence to know that I can rebuild it if it ever goes bad. I would imagine the pressed in bearing would come off with a big puller.

    I understand and the experience is good for future reference. I’ve always seen the center bearing removed using a cage puller like the posi-lock tj1. Except for the large screw driver and brass hammer used in the FM145 video, I don’t know of any other option.
