Sorry I should have known better my German FSM starts with the 722.1 - I haven't got any 722.0 information other than that in the ATSG.

Sorry this isn't helping is it?

Perhaps mercmad6.3 has an idea on how to do the job?

My vote would be to remove the bearing on the back of the bell housing and see if there was an obvious press fit joint there. If so press it out with a bench press - no hammer and drift work here! However before doing so I'd check with the dealer or Phil at fastlane to see if spares are available. They might also be able to shed some light on this circlip in the picture.

Having learned a little bit about the two different "early" and "late" modulating pressure systems on the 722.118 transmission it wouldn't surprise me if "early" 722.0XX transmissions had a different front end configuration from the "later" ones AND MERCEDES STILL KEPT THE SAME transmission type number!
