3. If the cutting unit is equipped with a counterweight or
accessory on LH side plate, remove the counter weight
or accessory. Remove and discard the O--ring from
counter weight.
4. If cutting unit is equipped with an optional groomer or
rear roller brush, remove components for those options
from left hand side plate of cutting unit. See Service and
Repairs section of Chapter 10 -- Belt Driven Groomer for
information on groomer. See Rear Roller Brush in the
Service and Repairs section of this chapter for informa-

IMPORTANT: If the reel bearings or seals are being
replaced, the reel spline inserts must be removed.
Use the following procedure to restrain the reel and
loosen the spline insert before removing the rollers.
5. Loosen the spline inserts:
A. Tip the cutting unit to access the bottom of the
reel.
B. Insert a long--handled pry bar (3/8 x 12 inch with
screwdriver handle recommended) through the bot-
tom of the cutting unit. The pry bar should pass
between the top of the reel shaft and the backs of
the reel blades so that the reel will not move.
IMPORTANT: To avoid grinding the reel, do not con-
tact the cutting edge of any blade with the pry bar as
this may damage the cutting edge and/or cause a
high blade.
C. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel
support plate closest to the spline insert being
loosened. Use correct spline insert tool (see Special
Tools).
IMPORTANT: The spline insert on the left end of the
cutting reel has left hand threads and the spline in-
sert on the right end of the cutting reel has right
hand threads.
D. Rest the handle of the pry bar against the front
roller and loosen the spline insert closest to the pry
bar.
E. Position the pry bar in the same manner on the
opposite end of the reel and loosen the remaining
spline insert.
F. Tip the cutting unit back onto its rollers.
6. Remove the bedbar pivot bolt and washers from the
LH side plate.
7. Loosen fasteners that secure front and rear rollers to
LH side plate (see Front Roller Removal and Rear Roller
Removal in this section).
