37.14. Remove the large hex flange nuts securing the
axles to the pivot bar.
37.15. Remove the front axles and tire assemblies from
the pivot bar.
37.16. Remove the pivot bar stop bolts and hex nuts
using a 3/4" socket and a 9/16" wrench.
NOTE: On units with the J-bolt style deck stabi-
lizer rod. the mounting plate will come off with
the pivot bar stop bolts.
37.17. Squeeze in on the wiring harness locking tab at
the right muffler bracket and release the wiring
harness using needle nose pliers.
37.18. Remove the hex screws securing the left and
right muffler support brackets to the frame using
a 1/2" socket. See Figure 37.18.

37.19. Remove the left and right muffler support brack-
ets.
CAUTION: On newer production units the muf-
fler support brackets cover the front pivot axle
bracket. when you remove the muffler support
brackets take care to prevent the pivot axle from
falling off.
NOTE: The brackets are marked for correct
installation.

circuits. When diagnosing anything that is con-
nected to the RMC module, high impedance test
light or a high impedance digital volt-ohm meter
(DVOM) should be used. The amperage draw of
a standard incandescent test light may over-bur-
den some internal electronic circuits, burning-out
the module.
NOTE: These tools are not outrageously expen-
sive or exotic. High impedance test lights (Thex-
ton model 125 is typical) can be purchased
locally from stores like NAPA for under $30.00.
Appropriate multi meters can be purchased for
under $100.00, and are an invaluable tool for
any competent technician.
It is typical when industries shift from electro-
mechanical to electronic controls that diagno-
sis shifts from tracing through a number of inde-
pendent circuits to checking the in-puts to and
out-puts from a central processor. This is similar
