Hi All,
I wrote earlier on my deck rebuild to work on my horizontal shaft WH. Making good progress on deck but ran into an issue with one spindle. As you can see the key somehow came out and wore away part of the spindle shaft. This is my first round shaft deck so I want to check before completely disassembling the spindle components to rebuild.
I have two questions:
1) what is the best way to remove the bearings, seals, spacers, etc. Use a punch to drive them out of the top or bottom?
2) If I use a lock washer and nut on top of spindle shaft instead of one with Woodruff Key...…can I reuse this spindle? Or is that nuts?
