Removing the Gear Box Assembly (continued)
Universal Groomer (Optional): Service and Repairs
You must use a 6-point socket with a heavy wall to remove the gear
box from the reel. Do not use an impact wrench. Groomer gear
boxes installed on the right side of the cutting unit use a standard
right hand thread; turn the drive shaft counterclockwise to remove
the gear box.
9. Rest the handle of the pry bar against the front roller and turn the drive shaft
counterclockwise to loosen it from the reel. Continue to unscrew the drive
shaft and remove the gear box from the cutting unit.
