3. Refer to Figure 15. Remove cotter pin from bottom of crossbar and
remove nut and washer.
4. Attach a clevis (1) to each end of crossbar, using blade pins, spacers,
keyhole plates, and blade pin clips.
5. Position tube assembly (5) with threaded nut (4) toward crossbar for
puller screw removal or down for hydraulic jack removal.
6. For removal with puller screw, attach tube (5) to each clevis with bolts (2)
and nuts (3). Place pad (4) in nut and thread puller screw (6) into nut from

strike head of puller screw with a hammer while tightening with a wrench.
7. For removal with a jack, attach tube to each clevis with puller links (7),
bolts (2), and nuts (3). Place jack on tube with end of jack pressing
against gearbox shaft. Slowly apply force with jack.
NOTE: Hydraulic jack will not operate if tipped more than 90°. Use care
to prevent bending crossbar during removal.
