Repairs HRX217HYA-How2 Remove Adjuster Arm on Rear Axle?

[bblueser]

Can someone tell me how to remove the adjuster arm on the rear axle of my HRX217HYA so I can lube the bushing that's shown behind it on the attached diagram?

It appears that the adjuster arm simply slides off the axle, after removing the wheel, wheel cover, circlips and a couple of washers.

I tried prying it off by placing a flat tip screwdriver between the arm and the Nexite deck, but it won't budge.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

So you got the circlip, pinion gear, key/spring, etc. all off the tip of the axle okay? How about the wheel cover?

Try rocking the adjuster plate back and forth to loosen the adjuster arm. A shot of penetrating oil and some soak time?
