Hi all,
Have an issue removing the bearing and housing from a Toro 20374 rear wheel drive mower. All the videos I've found relating to changing the bearing show a circlip holding the bearing housing ....the one I have is screwed in and has no circlip. The housing is screwed into the mower deck, and afteer 2 days of penetrating oil and heat from a torch, the nut will not move so I can back the housing out and replace the bearing. As you can see in the photos, the surface area to grab on the nut is restricted by the thickness o the mowing deck, so there's not much of the 1 1/4" wrench that can grip on to it.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to loosen this nut other than what I've tried....getting frustrated now!!!!
Thanks.
