Re: Gearbox bearing replacement


W. Smith
 

I have the Harbor Freight version... It's been many years since I did this, so I hope myu memory is accurate. I pulled things apart to make a new shaft for the bottom drive wheel - and when I did, my bearings looked crappy so I replaced them too.

So, the brass gear was pinned to the drive shaft. I used a punch to drive out the pin - it's a pita because of the angle, but was doable. Then I pulled the brass gear, and drive shaft, removed the key from the shaft and carefully drove the shaft out with a drift.

It's been so long that I've utterly forgotten how I removed the worm. I do recall that my outer oil seal was crap, that the worm and its shaft were one piece, and there was a spacer that held the space between the bearings - but that's all I remember.

I probably I knocked the worm (bearings and all at the same time) out the back with a brass drift - I wish I could recall.
