Hi,
Had some grass build up around the gear head output shaft so pulled off the cutting head but found the shaft wasn't as free as what I thought it should be.
Found some grass had got between the cover and up into the bearing.
After removing the grass found the bearing seal gone, and even small seal spring (I assume) mashed into bearing, so pulled all that out.
Removed the gear head and sprayed with wd40 to clean out the bearing and got it freed up as it should.
On the input side is a circlip holding the bearing in place, but on the output side didn't see one.
Needed to finish, so packed the bearing full of grease to get me through.
Now the question..
How do I remove the output bearing so I can replace it?
Thanks,
Chris.
