My 20+ year old HT 3811 is grinding in the rear end. I think it is the tranny, but I want to make sure it is not the rear wheel bearings.
Ok; here is the embarssing part, I can't get the rear wheels off. :ashamed:
I have taken codder pins out of the split nuts and removed the nuts from the axles, but the wheel won't budge. Looking at the parts diagram it looks like the axle is splined and should slide off, but I can't get them to move. I have tried to knock it loose with a weighted mallet, but nada, nothing. I have search for some other retaining device, but don't see one. :confused2:
I don't want to bend the wheel by really hammering on it, but I don't know what else to do.
What am I missing??
Thanks;
