I. Insert a long-handled pry bar (3/8 x 12 inch with screwdriver handle
recommended) through the bottom of the cutting unit. The pry bar should
pass between the bottom of the reel shaft and the backs of the reel
blades so that the reel will not move.
To avoid grinding the reel, do not contact the cutting edge of
any blade with the pry bar as this may damage the cutting edge
and/or cause a high blade.
J. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate closest to
the groomer gearbox, and lift the pry bar so that it contacts the front roller.
K. Use the drive shaft removal tool on the large flats of the drive shaft
assembly, and rotate the tool counterclockwise to loosen and remove
the gearbox driveshaft from the reel shaft; refer to
Tool (page 2–17).
13. Remove the pry bar, and tip the cutting unit back onto its rollers.
14. 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;
refer to Reel Thread Repair Taps (page
