Access other end for final cutterhead assembly removal
  • Go to other end of planer and remove gear box cover. It simply lifts off.

  • Tie drive chains together so everything stays in same location. Remove three retaining rings with a retaining ring plier (easiest and safest way to do it, buy one at your local hardware store).

  • Pull off two sets of chain and sprockets and carefully lay aside.

  • Remove four M5 x 35mm screws with a 4mm allen wrench. Leave the remaining two bolts in place.

  • Using a bearing removal tool, drive the bearing out of its socket. This will drive the bearing out of the other end so stop when both bearings are loose.

  • My turned bearing removal tool. It worked fine.

  • With proper gloves to protect your hands, carefully remove the cutterhead assembly.
