H-Drive disassembly

[DirectDrive]

Here's that little, helpful schematic again...



I had to refresh my memory.

[DirectDrive]

I worked on a stainless steel H-drive and an "aluminized" steel H-drive today.
The stainless control rod popped out as illustrated.
The steel H-drive, about 4 years old and corroded was a beeotch.

I ended up cutting it out with a 4-1/2" grinder and cut-off disk.
Carefully cut the section of rod between the stirrups.

Don't fight with one of these or you will chip your bowl as I did. (not bad but pissed me off)
Give it a quick try, if nada, then get out the die grinder or peanut grinder.
