I did one on a 7010 this week. The pictures show having the oil out, the drawbar off,
PTO shield off, and the bottom plated removed. The lock wire and pin are then removed followed by loosening the castle nut. I use some long 7/16 bolts and the
PTO shaft as a slide hammer to remove the 1000 rpm shaft. Let the gear drop onto something soft. I then reach up into the housing with a long screwdriver and pop the snap ring (clip) out of its groove. Remove the thrust bearing and washer off of the front face of the 540 gear so that it doesn't get damaged. Use the long bolts and reversible
PTO shaft again to pull the 540 hollow shaft out. Clean everything up. Refresh the o-ring and
seal in the retainer plate . Put in a new
seal for the solid shaft to ride on. I hold the 540 gear and bearing in place up in the housing while I drive the hollow shaft, with the
PTO shaft bolted to it , through the bearing and gear. Keep pressure rearward on the gear so that the large bearing stays seated in its cup while driving the shaft in. It doesn't go all that hard and I've never damaged a
seal doing it this way. Once it stops , reach up inside and get the snap ring (clip) back in place. It's a little tricky,but a long screwdriver works for me. Thrust washer and thrust bearing are next. Hold the 1000 gear up inside and then slide the 1000 shaft through the hollow shaft and both gears. Slide the nut on the shaft and then drive it home into the front bearing. Tighten the nut while jarring the 1000 end of the
PTO shaft with a sledge to back seat the bearings. Don't get super aggressive tightening the nut, but it does take a firm grip and effort to turn the shaft. Pin it, lock wire it, and then silicone the plate. Draw bar,shield, and oil. Next!!
