After reading much here and elsewhere I finally decided to attempt removal of my BH from my new B7500 ( 14 hrs). The instructions were somewhat useful and more that a little insufficient. For others who have not attempted it here are a few things to keep in mind. I almost busted my PTO pump when I lowered the stabilizers (as instructed) after disconnecting the top link. The huge top link connector came down on the pump and dinged it pretty good before I saw what was happening. After a few choice words I lifted it up to clear the pump and proceeded. The other little bit of advice comes from trial and error. I tried to remove the pump from the PTO spline as instructed. Nowhere did it say how to do this. I thought there was a set key to loosen and almost removed the shroud covering the PTO to get at it. At the last minute I noticed a spring loaded button where I assumed the set key was which when depressed allowed the pump to come off easily. My last thoughts were if this is the easy part I can't wait till I try to put it back on. Anyway hope this helps some new B7500 folks out there who have not yet taken off their BH yet.
