Yes.Are the "big" pins key #15 in the parts?
If So they are then 28mm or 29mm. 1 1/8= 28.575 mm . Seems like odd sizes.Yep. They're about an inch and an eighth. Whatever that may be in metric if I recall when I pulled the joint before.
I hope they buzz out. That is my biggest concern. None of this has ever been apart. I do not know if they lube use anti seize on any of the spiines at the factory. Probably not?Unhook the steering, buzz the two big pins out , and it should all slide out w/ the U joint assy. Then to the carrier I'd think. Hopefully the splines were lubed. The roller bearing will likely drop out the bottom , so just keep track of it.
I did not price them but like most JD parts they are likely very expensive. Did you? I can destroy the transaxle if need be. I was hoping to salvage it to some day rebuild or have for parts.Yes. All you need to do is price those joints out and then you'll take out the kid gloves. Stupidly priced. SO the transaxle is sacrificial anyways, correct?
