Ok here's the deal folks... I ordered a PTO rebuild kit for my Corsair II which
should be here in a day or so. I figured I would get a head start and
successfully removed the PTO and have the covers off exposing the brass shafts
with a lot of red grease. At this point does the PTO get further disassembled
or is this extent of the dis-assembly ? I assume what I need to do at this
point is to clean the shafts and main bearing free of all the existing grease,
correct ? What is the best solvent to help clean this grease away or should I
just get LOTS of Q-TIPS ?Do I need to remove the plastic bearing end cap and
clean that free of grease as well ? There is a smaller diameter shaft on top
that has a spring on it. Does this shaft also get de-greased and RE-greased as
well ? The main brass shaft that goes into the iron core... how do I get down
inside there to clean that grease out ? Also I would like to know what exactly
causes PTO warble ? Is it drying out of grease in the main bearing or elsewhere
or basically all greased area's ? Is there anything that I should know that the
TenTec instructions will not cover such as hints or tips ? I don't want to have
to do this again for awhile if I can help it. Please reply via email if
possible because I get the mailing list in digest form and would like to get
any help asap. Thanks alot guys.
