You must use a 6-point socket with a heavy wall to remove the gear
box from the reel. Do not use an impact wrench. Groomer gear boxes
installed on the left side of the cutting unit use a left hand thread;
turn the drive shaft in correct direction to remove the gear box.
10. Rest the handle of the pry bar against the front roller and turn the drive shaft
in correct direction to loosen it from the reel. Continue to unscrew the drive
shaft and remove the gear box from the cutting unit.
