The pinion gear is driven with a spring loaded key
located in the shaft. Before removing the gear, turn
it in both directions. It turns forward freely with a
clicking or ratcheting noise. This noise is created
by the key dropping over the driving shoulder of the
gear. Turn backward and the shoulder of the gear
moves up against the key which provides the self-
propelling. This will be found on both rear wheels.

When removing the gear from the shaft, be very
careful because the key, being spring loaded, can
pop out and be lost. The spring also can become
lost. Fig. 43.

Behind the pinion gear is another retaining ring.
Remove it and slide the wheel cover off. Remove
the left wheel, pinion gear and wheel cover. Fig. 44.
