Tom,
Why do you want to remove it?  When I bebuilt my 20B, I saw no reason to

remove it.

I dunno Don.  I've got this funny thing about taking stuff apart.  Have
since I was a kid.  Drove my parents nuts.

Actually, it makes it much easier to clean the housing, inspect for warpage,
and to inspect the gear & babbit in the bearing.  I also didn't know but
what there was some kind of O-ring or gasket in the joint that needed
replacement.  There isn't.  Got it all apart now.

Hey Tom,
How did you split your e-shaft?  I built a e-shaft splitter.  Several people have contacted me requesting a drawing of it, but unfortunately, my drawing skills are worse than my handwriting stills.  I'm a Physician, not an engineer!!!  Anyway, if you built a splitter and can draw, I know several people would appreciate a drawing.  I posted pics previously but it didn't seem to help.
Thanks,
Don Mitchell

Don
I sure would like to see the pictures of the splitter.

Here they are.
