NOTE: Good practice is to change the bearings before reaching the maximum degree of wear.
7.11.3 Remove sprockets
The sprockets are fastened to the axle with an eccentric connection. Follow this procedure to loosen the
sprockets.
1. Make an indication mark across both the sprocket and axle (red line) that indicates movement
between the axle and the sprocket.
2. Set a solid steel bar on one of the sprocket teeth, and hit it with a hammer (opposite of the sprocket
working direction).
3. Remove the sprocket, when the indication mark has shifted.
