Slide shaft drive removal tool (137-0920) over the shaft so the flats on the input shaft and the flats on the socket align. Using 1½ inch box end wrench, remove the groomer drive shaft from the cutting unit. (Figure 8) Important: With gear box installed on right-hand side of cutting unit, turn groomer drive counter-clockwise to remove drive-box shaft from cutting unit.
