Yanmar YCM-60 mower Deck how to remove spindles and pulleys. I recently purchased a mower deck that I want to put on my YM 146. However I want to replace the bearings in the spindles. The pulleys are stuck and made of plastic. I dont know if I cant find parts for these cogged pulleys so I dont want to break them. Anyone ever replaced these or have any schematics etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Usually, by removing the blades, the hub assembly and pulley lift off the deck once the bolts are removed. Then the spindle may be able to be gently forced out of the bearings with the pulley still attached. Don't hit the end of the spindle with a steel hammer but rather use a piece of hardwood or a brass punch with a large diameter.

This advice is generic and not specific to your Yanmar.
