QuestionI have a Mantis-20 tiller (old model 1986)
The worm gear teeth are sheared, and I would like to replace it.
The worm gear is on a shaft, apparently held on each side by a "Bearing Seal Retainer". How do I remove this bearing seal retainer, in order to replace the worm gear.
From the worm gear out each direction on the shaft, there is a worm gear thrust washer, a worm gear bearing, bearing seal, and bearing seal retainer. Should any of these parts also be replaced? I believe all are available.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Answer Hello Paul:
All the parts you are wnating to replace reqiure a Press. Also replace all Parts Associated with the Worm Gear. When you press these off/out they tend to put stress on the old parts and if reused they dont usually last long. Hope this Helps.
Good Luck
