My local Scag dealer will no longer rebuild (replace bearing and seals) in my Tiger Cub spindle so I thought I might attempt it myself as opposed to buying a new $250 spindle. However, my first attempt at removing the spindle nut proved futile. I am using a 1/2” impact gun on the nut, but I can’t keep the spindle from spinning while clamped in the jaws of a 4” vise.
So is there a technique for removing the spindle nut beyond the obvious ( bigger vise and impact)? Additionally, what is the torque for installation of the new bearings?
