On my 2182, one of my power steering pump hydrostatic lines was leaking like a sieve due to it being cracked at the fitting. I replaced that and noticed that the input shaft is leaking/spraying oil as well... sigh if it's not one thing it's another.
I have ordered a replacement gasket (part number 921-3032) and have been trying to figure out just how to get the cover off. I know that there's the input shaft that goes into the hydrostatic pump. There's also two bolts that hold the housing (part #55 in the diagram linked below).
While I am mechanically inclined; I just want to know I know what I'm getting myself into before I start tearing it apart.
Do I have to disconnect the entire shaft from the engine or can I get away with removing the fan?
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
