http://www.progressiveturfequip.com/service
Spindle repair requires special skills and tools, a shop press is
required. If your shop is not properly equipped or your
mechanics are not properly trained in this type of repair,
complete spindle assemblies are available as service parts.
1) Remove LH Nut (1), lock washer (2), pulley (3), and spacer
(5) from spindle assembly.
The spindle nut is left-hand
thread.
Make sure that the press ram and bed 100% square to each
other. If bearings are not square in housing, bearings will
wear out prematurely.
2) Place assembly in shop press with support under spindle
housing flange and press spindle down through housing.
3) Remove bottom bearing from spindle and top bearing from
housing
IMPORTANT! Removing bearings from spindle / housing
causes permanent damage to the bearings. New bearing
must
be used in re-assembling the spindle
.
4) Inspect bearing (8) spacer for wear. If any wear is present,
replace spacer with new.
IMPORTANT! Failure to replace a worn or damaged
spacer will lead to premature top bearing wear.
5) Place housing (7) in press (upside down).
Pressing on
outer race
; install bottom bearing (9) into housing.
6) Place spindle (12) in press. Place dirt shield (11) and shim
(10) on spindle.

bearing on to spindle. A steel tube will be required to slide
over the spindle and press on inner race.
8) Install bearing spacer (8) with hole end up.

,
press top bearing on to spindle (may be a loose fit in
housing).
