3. Refer to Figure 14. 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) to-
ward 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

bottom. Tighten until pad is solid against gearbox
shaft. For best results, strike head of puller screw
with a hammer while tightening with a wrench.

with puller links (7), bolts (2), and nuts (3). Place
jack on tube with end of jack pressing against gear-
box shaft. Slowly apply force with jack.

bar during removal.
