Woods MD160 Dixie Cutter Rotary Cutter - How do I remove the tailwheel?

[Herman126]

Hello,

I have a Woods MD160 Dixie Cutter Rotary Cutter - I am trying to take off the tailwheel to replace it. I managed to get the outer nut off. I thought all I had to do then was slide the bolt/wheel out the other side. I have used an ax and a hammerand knocked on the bolt to try to get it to slide out, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

On the side you took the nut off there's another nut just inside the yoke still on the bolt. This nut is the preload for the bearings and have to be removed by holding it and turning the bolt out. Hope this is clear enough to follow.
