briley 5 #1 Posted April 7, 2022 Does anyone know how to remove that front gear after removing the nut? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,040 #2 Posted April 7, 2022 You need to remove the other gear first. There is a snap ring that holds that on. After that remove the nut and you might need a small gear puller to get it off the shaft. You must time the shaft 90 degrees opposite of the other shaft so the blades don't hit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
