Prerequisite only! This guide shows how to remove or replace the transmission on a Honda FRC800K1A Rear Tine Tiller.
You will need to support the tiller during this process. We recommend jack stands, large pieces of wood, or other strong supports. Make sure to rock the tiller back and forth on its supports before beginning to ensure that it won’t fall or tip over during repairs.
Some of the fasteners on this device use through-bolts with nuts to secure components. You may need to use a wrench in conjunction with a socket to remove them.
