Fixing a few things on my QA36B, and was curious about the bearing/auger shaft situation. I was able to get the bearings off with a bearing puller, but it took quite a few ugga duggas.

I'm assuming the proper method to get the auger out is to drive one bearing further onto the auger shaft and then pull off one of the plates and then slide the auger back and out? I just wrestled the auger out with a lot of pry bar and swearing, and I'm assuming this isn't the proper way to go about it.

Should the bearings slide fairly easily on the shaft?

Thanks!
