Removing Seized Reel Clutch Shaft From Transmission
If reel clutch shaft assembly cannot be easily removed
from transmission housing due to bearing seizure, the
following procedure can b e followed to remove the reel
clutch shaft assembly.
1. Make sure that transmission drive belt and reel
clutch lever are removed from housing (see Transmis-
sion Drive Belt and Transmission Reel Drive System in
this section).
2. Carefully drill two (2) No. 7 (0.201” diameter) holes
in the transmission housing using the dimples in the
housing as centers for the holes (Fig. 43). Holes should
be drilled completely through the housing allowing ex-
ternal access to the ball bearing on the reel shaft.
3. Use a 3/16” punch through the drilled holes to care-
fully drive the bearing and reel clutch shaft from the
transmission housing.
IMPORTANT: Ball bearing will be damaged during
this procedure. Remove ball bearing from reel
clutch shaft and discard bearing after shaft has
been removed from housing (see Transmission
Reel Drive System in this section for bearing remov-
al information).
4. Clean and inspect bearing bore in housing. If dam-
age is severe in housing, replace transmission housing.
5. Use a 1/4”--20 UNC tap to install threads in the two
(2) holes drilled in the transmission housing.
6. Install two (2) 1/4”--20 cap screws with flat washers
into tapped holes in the transmission housing. Cap
screws no longer than 3/8” in length should be used. Af-
ter screw installation, make sure that the ends of the
screws DO NOT extend into the ball bearing bore in the
housing.
7. Service the reel clutch shaft assembly as needed
(see Transmission Reel Drive System in this section).
Make sure that new ball bearing is installed on r eel
clutch shaft.
8. Install reel clutch shaft assembly into transmission
housing and assemble transmission (see Transmission
Reel Drive System in this section).
