Toro Reelmaster 7000-D Service Manual page 428

H. 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.
I. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel
support plate closest to the drive shaft assembly.
J. Use the drive shaft removal tool (Toro p/n
137--0920) on the large flats of the drive shaft as-
sembly; refer to Fig. 5.
K. Rest the handle of the pry bar against the front
roller and turn the drive shaft in correct direction to
loosen it from the reel.
12.Tip the cutting unit back onto its rollers.
13.Clean the threads in the end of the reel shaft. A right–
hand thread and left--hand thread tap is available to
clean or repair the threads if necessary:
A. 15/16–16 Right--Hand Thread – Toro p/n.
137–0926
B. 15/16–16 Left--Hand Thread – Toro p/n.
