19. See Figure 17. Remove the thrust bearing races (G,
I) and bearing (H) from the variable swashplate (F).
Be sure not to use any form of pry tool to get these
parts out, use a magnet. The race in the plate itself
may not come out easily during disassembly due to
the residual oil holding it in. It can be removed later
when the swashplate is removed. Inspect the bearing
and races for signs of wear or damage and replace
as needed. Also notice that the thinner of the two
races (G) goes in the swashplate.
20. Remove the input shaft (L) by first removing the seal
(J) and snap ring (K). Inspect the shaft for signs of
damage to the splines, running surfaces, and bearing.
Do not remove the bearing unless it is damaged.
21. Remove the control arm (B) by driving out the double
roll pin (A) that holds it in place then remove the arm.

22. Using a 12mm socket, loosen and remove the 7 bolts
(C) that hold the side cover (D) in place. Note that
there are two points where a pry tool can be inserted
to break the seal of the sealant used. The variable
swashplate can then be removed with the side plate.
23. Remove the swashplate (F).
• Carefully disengage the spring (E) from the neutral
eccentric and slide it out. Disengage the spring from
the anchor on the swashplate.
• Inspect the bushings in the side plate and the trans-
mission case. Replace if they appear damaged or
the swashplate does not operate smoothly.
• The neutral eccentric can be removed if needed by
using a 17mm socket and loosening the jam nut that
retains it. Note the two o-rings that form the seal.
