Take the Body off the Hull,
Remove the Tracks,
Remove the Sprocket Caps and the Sprockets,
Unscrew the Output Shaft Covers,
Use silicon spray or Lithium Grease on the Gearbox Output Shafts,
Slide the Output Shaft Bearings down the Shafts with the countersunk side of the screw holes on the bearings on the outside.
Turn the bearings until the holes in the bearings are opposite a clear part of the inside of the Hull so that after you have drilled the holes for the screws there is space for the nuts to be fitted onto the threads of the screws,
Drill then fit the screws and nuts,
Smear threadlock over the nut and refit the covers and the sprockets and caps and the tracks and the Tank Body.

ok thanks all

Hi everyone, could you please tell me how to remove these protections on the transmission axis?

there are 3 pegs it is glued in place so you would need to get solvent to melt glue to soften it up and then try carefully to pull it off

Hi Desmo 16 - did you have any luck with removing the output shaft covers ? I am wanting to do the same but bit nervous of how best to proceed. Once the new shaft guides are installed are the shaft covers glued back into place. I am assuming that the three plastic lugs used to secure the output shaft covers will have been lost in the removal process. Thanks - Paul

In my experience the glue is very thinly applied and with very careful use of a sharp edge you can get into the cover where it joins the hull and break the glues hold and the cover will come away. If you do make a cock of it spare covers are available for a few pennies.
Some of the early ones were held in place by a screw and pegs/lugs,
The pegs/lugs are part of the cover and they have always come out intact as part of the cover, The secret is GENTLY work a blade around the base of the cover just lifting the blade a very little as you work around the cover until it is free.

Hello,
By removing the motors, you should see inside, the small plastic studs, which hold this part? a mini drill, hands or electric, nun small forest, drill gently (not completely) then pry on the outside with a knife blade
without forcing too much
