C. Remove the six (6) M10 nuts connecting the spindle assembly to the cutter bar. (Figure 4-8)

D. Lightly tap a screwdriver into the two slotted notches cast into each spindle housing, positioned 180° apart. Simultaneously and with equal force, press downward on the two screwdrivers. When the sealant attaching the spindle housing to the cutter bar has been broken, remove the entire spindle assembly from the cutter bar taking special care to keep dirt and debris out of the cutter bar.
