6. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin from the height adjustment rod at the
front of the groomer gear box. Discard cotter pin.
7. Tip up the cutting unit to access the bottom of the reel to remove the drive
shaft assembly.
8. Insert a long-handled pry bar (3/8 x 12 inch with screwdriver handle
recommended) through the bottom of the cutting unit. The pry bar should
pass between the top of the reel shaft and the backs of the reel blades so
that the reel will not move.
To avoid grinding the reel, do not contact the cutting edge of any
blade with the pry bar as this may damage the cutting edge and/or
cause a high blade.
9. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate closest to
the groomer gear box.
