Right SA Final Removal/rebuild
Posted: Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:27 pm
I went back and forth in my mind today as to whether I would pull the right final on my Super A. I finally made up my mind when I ordered the seals...should be here from NAPA in the morning. SO.......I spent the latter part of Tuesday afternoon getting it ready: removed the drawbar, rear rockshaft, seat & right fender, loosened the platform, disconnected the brake. In other words, spent over an hour undoing what I had spent days DOING!!! I was quite depressed. But I couldn't leave the leak from (I think) the right diff seal, and the brake had never been off that side and I began to feel there was something not right with it.
Though I rebuilt the left final, I have never removed the right side, and the manual is a bit vague on the process, so I was hoping someone would give me the steps for this. In other words, do I remove the wheel, then the final, then the differential housing? The manual implies removing the whole thing, but this is NOT a Cub final...it is HEAVY!!. And I am worried about how the shaft comes out. I do not want to bend or break anything.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
