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?
