 Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2009 6:17 pm Post subject: disassemble c-box question |
 |
|
I needed to disassemble the c-box on my 582 to change the seal in the back. I got all the bolts out, took a piece of wood and a hammer. taped on the outer case and it only come about 3/8 ' open and will not come off . Has anyone had this happen to them Box has about 70 hrs on it everyone I have asked said it is suppose to just come right off what can be holding it up? IS there a trick to it? It works fine, just leak small drops out the back by the donut. (Don't like oil leaks) thanks for any input

Jerry-
There is a bolt inside one of the gears that you have to remove first before it will come apart. To get access to the bolt you take the front cover off. It is an allen bolt, I want to say 6 or 8 mm not sure on this. This bolts holds the smaller gear onto the shaft. Once you remove the bolt you can slide the gear off and seperate the rear of the gearbox.
Hope this helps.

This takes you through it. When I pulled mine apart, I had to do just a little more than "tap" it.... I gave it a good "timex" tap and the front cover popped off. I think from you description that you are having issues getting the front cover off?
