Remove 2013 Fiesta SE IB/5 Input Shaft bearing

[borgward]

Ready to rebuild my 2013 Fiesta Se 1.6 IB/5 transmission. How do I pull the input shaft bearing? Special Ford tool? Already removed the circlip. Looks like I could pull the gear behind it to dislodge it.
VIN 3FADP4EJ5DM225349
Bearing is FAG 800856 C H49A What is the Ford P/N for it?

Transmission would sometimes pop out of 1st with a loud bang. If not I could accelerate at full power and it would hold. I suspect there is a spring loaded ball keeper in the 1st gear synchro assy that is the culprit.

The transmission was very clean inside. Could not see any wear on the parts. All bearing move smoothly

A FWD car popping out of gear is often because of a bad motor mount. The engine / transmission assembly moves farther than it should from the torque to the wheels, and that pulls on the linkage.

No, Wrong, and Wishful thinking on my part. I've been all through that shifter linkage, motor mount stuff. That can be if the mounts were totally gone, but not the case this time. Take a look at the image of the synchronizer assy. See the squarish thing. There are 3 of them arranged at 120 degrees. When I move the part the fork usually moves back and forth from 1st to 2nd one of the does not move with the others. I have been told that there is a spring loaded ball in that assy. I suspect that is why 1st did not always hold.

I need to remove the bearing seen in right end of the image. Already removed the circlip. No way to attach my gear puller to it. Thinking maybe attach puller the the gear and that would pull the bearing along with it. Is there a special Ford tool for getting that bearing off?

FYI I put a used transmission in the car and there is no popping out of gear. (Used transmission is on it's way out) Good enought to get parts and groceries but would not trust for cross country adventure.

@borgward, you're braver than I am. Good for you for taking this on.

Please keep us posted.

Likely a straight jaw puller, Like this one....HERE

And...I agree...Pull on the gear below the bearing.

I have one of those. Will see if there is enough space behind the gear to get a grip. In the past when there was not much space for that thick piece to grab on I used a C clamp across the bars to prevent it from slipping off.

Seems like I have seen another kind having 2 pieces that are dished out on the flat side w/a bolt on either side to tighten it.

Pulled the bearing using straight jaw puller. Just barely had enough room for the puller to get a grip on the gear behind the bearing. They came off nicely. Had fun with that circlip. Used an old snap ring pliers to expand the clip enough enough to further work it off with screw drivers. That circlip has no holes for snap ring pliers. Bought a "Lock Ring Plier" that could not get a hold on the ring. Looking for one that will work on the Ford snap ring.
