My PTO shaft wobbles just a bit. Dad didn't completely disconnect the rotary mower and ended up backing over half the PTO shaft last summer. I think the PTO output is bent on the tractor, so I'm trying to remove it.
It looks like it's held in with a snap ring and a pressed in bearing. Should I be able to pull the whole shaft and bearing out with a slide hammer all at once? Do I need to take that snap ring off (I've tried, and failed...). I removed the two bolts that hold in the bearing and have yanked as hard as I can with a slide hammer attached to the shaft with a chain.
