http://www.progressiveturfequip.com/service
Spindle repair requires special skills and tools, a shop press is
required. If your shop is not properly equipped or your mechanics
are not properly trained in this type of repair, complete spindle
assemblies are available as service parts.
1) Remove LH thread nut (1), lock washer (2), pulley (3), key (11) & shim
(4,5) from spindle assembly.
The spindle nut is left-hand thread, the
pulley has 2 setscrews.
Make sure that the press ram and bed 100% square to each other. If
bearings are not square in housing, bearings will wear out
prematurely.
2)
Place assembly in shop press with support under spindle housing
flange and press spindle (12) down through housing.
3)
Remove bottom bearing from spindle and top bearing from housing
4)
IMPORTANT! Removing bearings from spindle / housing causes
permanent damage to the bearings. New bearings must be used
in re-assembling the spindle
.
5)
Replace bearing spacer tube (8) with new spacer provided in rebuild
kit.
6)
IMPORTANT! Failure to replace a worn or damaged spacer will
lead to premature bearing wear.
