Uncharted territory for me beyond what I've already done. Also, I have nothing to remove bearings, unless it can be whacked from behind with a hammer. I saw what looks like an allen wrench fitting on the collar. Watched a video that says to aim the punch in a counter-clockwise direction (?) Can the bearing be reused once removed? What about the collar - must it be placed back in a certain position? For that matter, how about the PTO - does the lower of the paris of set screws simply rest on the bearing? Not sure how far I should hammer it back in place (once I get to that point..maybe should say "if" !)
So the locknut also loosens with allen wrench? This is turning into a way-bigger job than I would have ever anticipated.
