Rebuild is a relatively easy job. Worst part is getting the PTO in and out of
the rig. By all means do it yourself. I've done over a dozen and they keep
getting easier.
No need to realign. Just remove, rebuild and reinstall. Nice one-day project.
Take your time and enjoy the process

Subject: [TenTec] PTO Rebuild or not?
I own an Omni D that works well and enjoy using, except the PTO is beginning
to drag. Have the kit to rebuild it, have never done a rebuild before, but
am reasonably mechanically capable. TT tells me the price is $125 to rebuild
it, and then of course the shipping will likely add at least another $50.
They tell me alignment after rebuild is probably not necessary.
So, appreciate advice about rebuilding/having TT rebuild it/ or avoiding the
issue by just selling the rig, Finally, assuming I rebuild, what is the
best solvent to remove the old grease? Is Varsol ok?
