12.5SHAFT & BEARING REMOVAL
1.Fit the spline tool over the shaft. Remove the 1 1/4"AF shaft retaining nut securing the shaft.
2.Lay the outer bowl on its side before removal of the shaft. This ensures that the shaft does not fall directly onto the floor.

Refit the thick stator motor clamp plate onto the outer bowl and secure with the four stator mounting bolts. The stator clamp plate may be used to hold the legs of the puller in place.
WARNING: Make sure the stator clamp plate is flat before using. If in doubt, replace.

WARNING: Do not remove the bearings with a hammer and drift as serious damage to the bearing housing or outer bowl may result. Use the bearing removal tool as illustrated .
4.Remove the seal with the aid of a screwdriver handle levering from side to side.
5.Remove inner bearing using the bearing removal tool. Insert the threaded rod and extractor washer up from the bottom of the outer bowl. Place the collar and large locating spigot on the threaded rod and extract the bearing.
