Hi guys,

I'm having the same exact issue as the guy below where my drive shaft is leaking gear oil. The parts diagram in the below link looks the same as the one for my L2650.

I've removed bolt #90 and drove out pin #60. My problem is that the rear shaft cover only slides forward an inch or so though, so I am unable to remove the coupler. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Nick

Rear cover should slide further forward with a little "persuasion". Need to get the #10 pin out so coupling slides forward, allowing back end of shaft to drop.

Thanks for the help. I was able to get the shaft out like you said. My next question is can I replace the seal and o-ring #50 and #60 just by removing nut #90? There isn't a lot of room in there to work with. And if so, what size is the nut? The biggest deep socket I have is 27mm and it was too small.
