Toro - Personal Pace drive problem

You can just tap the bearing into the bearing HOC with a hammer. The sleeve will be a snug fit between the axle shaft and the HOC, I suggest you clean the axle shaft smooth with some crocus cloth and lube the shaft and sleeve when installing.

Rivets...thanks for your insight on ball bearing installation. Guessing it would be best to Iube new sleeve bushinhg before tapping into retainer after bearing is installed. Please confirm. Thx

In this case a little lube never hurts.

Hey Rivets...taking things apart & scratching my head. Is it possible bearing retainer screws into pivot arm plate ? Took wheel & drive pinion off there isn't a retaining ring holding pivot arm into place. Looking at new retainer it has an external coarse thread. All I can figure without going further is bearing retainer goes thru HOC plate then the retainer screws onto retainer??

What do you think ?

Maybe sec. 7 of this manual will help you out. https://www.toro.com/getpub/22446
