I have the WSM and the OM...and need help on how to replace the plastic cover (item 100 on page 112 of the parts manual) for the universal joint on the front drive shaft. The one on my B2910 was pushed back and all wadded up, so I thought that I would replace it before installing a loader.
Per the manual, I must remove the propeller shaft (remove pin of course); remove the 2 pins in the universal joint, drop the bearing holder, and the shaft would slide right out.
I've tried this to no avail. I have pushed the Universal joint back until it bottomed into the UJ; push the propeller shaft until it too, bottoms into the UJ; and pushed the front coupling at the front axle all the way to front.
What am I missing? My only recourse seems to indicate that I'll have to remove some sheet metal in the rear, near the transmission, and remove the pins at the UJ to create even more range of movement to get one of the ends to clear.
This sounds way too complicated...so I would like a second opinion before I go any further.
