Hello All,
I am in the process of replacing the output shaft seal (frame removed from engine). Could not get the shaft to pull out, so used gear puller to give it a nudge - once I removed the O-ring and the shaft - I noticed that center of the threaded shaft (where the M20 nut and compressing ring is attached) was pushed in a bit while pulling off the shaft. I am thinking that i can pull the center back out - any thoughts about the best approach to do this? I am pulling all my pics together and preparing to post them under the rebuild link. Appreciate your thoughts about the shaft.
