Kubota bx2230 front wheel drive shaft broken. How to remove

[AndrewH]

Pardon my terminology, not a mechanic. The front wheel drive drive shaft spline broke off today. I'm trying to get this piece off of my tractor so I can replace it.

does the spline slide out of the housing or is it all connected? It looks like a PTO connector similar to the mower deck where I can push it in and pull but no luck. Here's some pictures for reference.

I'm pretty sure #090 is what is busted , the 'propellor shaft'looks like bracket #240 has to come off, then....
others will know for sure. #090 is a $500 CDN part, hope you're sitting down !.

Ouch I think you're right. Any idea how it comes off?

I'm thinking remove #140 snap ring, part 120 comes off, 4 balls hit the ground and the shaft slides off ?? I know guys here say grease the balls when reinstalling. I've never worked on them ,just good at finding the diagrams.

Undo the carrier bearing and the shaft should slide off the output shaft of the transmission. But ive taken many transmissions out and they are all rusted on there. Nothing holding the coupler on there besides rust. Penetrating oil will help but its just a pain. And no good way to get leverage on it. Taking the floorpan off will help some. But what @GreensvilleJay said may be a better option for you since you really dont need to remove the coupler

Remove #240 and #240 and #100 should slide off of #010
