My gearbox is leaking quite a bit. I'm trying to get it off of the machine so I can replace the seals.
I'm stuck on the inner shaft bearing (the one on the part of the shaft that sticks out near the rollers). I've removed the square retaining plate (what I believe the attached manual page calls the "locking collar" although the arrow points to the inner collar, so I'm not sure).
I thought the bearing and mounting plate (the circular plate around the bearing) would then just slip off. They did not. I put a steering-wheel puller on it (it fit well), and that did nothing.
Am I missing something obvious? How can I get this bearing off? It, apparently needs to come off in order to remove the gearbox, and the gearbox appears to need to come off to get to the seals.
Thanks.
Brett
