Re: (ET) FRont Steering bearing replacement

The front pillow block bearing can be slid out the front without removing 
the shaft. I've done a few that way. Removing the moon gear and shaft is not 
easy.

Subject: (ET) FRont Steering bearing replacement

I got my snowblower working better; the belt was pretty loose. I noticed 
that my steering was getting pretty sloppy though so I pulled it into the 
barn to take a look. The front bearing of my E20 is held in by a stamped 
pillow block which had fallen apart. So I'm following the directions to pull 
the gear and sector assembly that the bearing is mounted to. I cannot get 
the assembly out. I can get the rear of the shaft to come out of the rear 
bracket but then the rear bracket is caught under the teeth of the sector 
gear which prevents the sector assembly from coming down or the rear bracket 
from being pulled up and out.

Is there some trick to this?
