Hi,
I finally split my 300 U because I have had IPTO problems recently. I noticed the clutch input shaft pilot is worn so I want to change it. I removed the IPTO drive shaft bearing cage but the clutch shaft will not come out. It looks like the splines at the back of the clutch shaft are rusted into the coupler ahead of the TA. The book says "pull the engine clutch shaft forward out of the clutch housing". Has anyone had to remove a stuck clutch shaft? Should I soak the coupler with Kroil and use a slide hammer? I have read all the recent posts about 300 U splits so I will try not to ask any duplicate questions.
Thanks, Tim
