How do you get the bearing and seal off the PTO shaft? What I thought (and Probably is) would be a 20 minute job is proving slightly more time consuming! I have removed the circlip in front of the seal but have not manadged to remove the clip behind the bearing that looks a bit like a piston ring. Is it nessesary to remove this clip only my'n seems stuck and will not rotate when force is applied. If it does have to be removed what is the best way to get it off in one piece!
My problem seems very simular to one posted previously by Jim, like Jim I do not have access to a press, is a hammer and a few blocks of wood sufficant to complete this job?
Jim if your out there did you complete the job, if so how! Many thanks Mike

A good substitute for a press is an air chisel. I bought one a few years ago and have used it on many occasions to remove stubborn bearings, seals etc, it will even split tapers. Obviously don't use it on cast iron or anything which is to be refitted. It's the best £20 i've spent.

The circlip I think you're describing is called a snap ring. The correct pliers look like thin nosed pliers except that they open when you squeeze them. The ends are flat with an dot in which you locate the ends of the ring.

The circlips have a notch in one end where you can get in a fine screwdriver. It may be hard to see; I only discovered this after I somehow got the first one out.
Hose it with penetrating oil and try getting the screwdriver in there and rotating it to get it started. Then you're on the way.
Once you get it out then drive the shaft with the bearing out of the housing toward the front. In my case a piece of wood was enough.
I'm not sure if I'm the Jim you're mentioning but I did complete this job recently with success. I put a page about it on my website. Check under "My Fergie Restoration".

Thank for the help Jim, have now successfully completed the job. The clips were rather tricky to remove but I got there in the end, they were not a britle as I had thought and I was suprised how far you could bend them. Great website by the way, shall be adding it to my favorites.
Cheers,
Mike
