CC 1450 PTO bearing
 

Hi,

i've got a perfectly good PTO but the bearing is starting to make noises and does not turn as easy as it should. I've got it in the vise and can see the snap ring in the front ... but am having trouble removing it. Anybody have experiance w/ this... ie: what tool and technique did you use to get this darn thing out .... any advise would be grand...

rgds, Bryan

Yup. Snap ring pliers.

Mine has no holes in it to bring the ends together ... looks like you need to dig one end out somehow.
Do these usually have interior snap rings w/ the holes in either end?

Just dig one end out with a screwdriver then work your way around.

tks Sasky .... dig I will...think ive got an old auto transmission trans. pick out in the garage somewhere
must be getting soft in my middle years!
