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.
