Axle Removal (Eaton 750) - Simplicity LTH series Service Manual

Axle Removal (Eaton 750)

1. With the transaxle secured to bench, use a 3/8"
wrench to remove the axle mounting capscrews.
2. Carefully remove the axle assembly (up to and
including wear plate) from the housing.
3. In most cases, the differential shaft will remain in the
transaxle housing when the axle is removed. If this
occurs, remove the differential shaft at this time.
IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful when removing
the motor rotor assemblies. The ball pistons are
spring loaded and must remain in their bores
because each ball piston is matched to its respective
bore.
4. The best way to remove the motor rotor assemblies
is to place a separate motor race on top of the exist-
ing motor race in the housing assembly. Hold the
separate race securely in position. Then, carefully
pull the motor rotor assembly outward until the ball
pistons are fully engaged in the groove located in the
center of the separate race. Carefully remove the
rotor assembly and race together as a set, handling
the motor rotor assembly only.
NOTE: If a separate motor race is not available, a piston
ring compressor, a wide rubber band, or differential seal
(P/N 121190) may be used to hold the ball pistons in
their bores.
