As I mentioned in a seperate post, I have leaking fluid through the brake housing on my tractor. I've got the brake assembly removed, and am down to the bolted on plate (see picture). In reading some posts all over, the 'net, I was under the impression that I should be able to re-seal the shaft without going inside the gearbox. However, I can't seem to get this last plate off. Forcing things isn't my style, so I've stopped before I break anything. I'd read in a post on a different forum that a guy with a 434 went into his gearbox, and further in his thread, someone stated that there were 3 bolt holes that you use as jackscrews to remove it. ?? The thread wasn't followed up on, so I don't know the end result of either. Any help would be much appreciated.
