The link looks like it's the same pro clutch. ExTreme. The way the 2186 looks like there's clearance to just remove the nut in the front and slide off. I may try that first then take hood, grill and muffler off if needed. I couldn't detect any movement with tension off pulley. I'll triple check to make sure the noise is coming from pto and not a spindle or something. I'd rather fix it now than have it break in the middle of mowing. I don't have a back up mower here YET!
