I tried searching but didn't have any luck . Does anyone have a easier way to remove the drive shaft on the 1450 , with the engine and rear still in it ? I want to replace the fan , and trying to figure out how to do it without removing the engine again , which I just got done putting back in . Yea , I know , why didn't I change it then , well after a little accident breaking a couple blades here I am . Any body got a short cut ? Thanks
