So at the very least my self-aligning bearings are shot:
I will be darned if I can't get the coupling to free itself from the input shaft to the hydro trans. Any thoughts? I gave it a good charge of PB blaster and am calling it quits for tonight. I read in the service manual it should slide rear enough to take out the drive shaft, but it didn't work for me. Does it come off by tapping it forward towards the motor?
