Also this may help. Its an exploded view, for part ordering, so doesn't show much detail. http://www.obrockwindmills.com/Data/SouthernCross/Documents/ SCBrochure.pdf Its a PDF, so right click and "Save As".

if you have the gearbox with the whitemetal bearings then there is a steel pin that holds it to the shaft. it is between the teeth of the gear. look carfully. if you remove the pin then the pinion should fall freely from the shaft. If you don't have the one with the whitemetal bearings then there should be a shoulder on the pinion with i think two grub screws in. remove the grub screws and it should fall off. hope i was of help.  |
