Some people have reported good results without the rebuild kit.
The trick is to carefully disammble the PTO drive and bearings,
clean everything, and reassemble using a good quality grease that
will not harden with age. Check the archives. One guy reported
success with a good grade of bicycle grease. I plan to try
disc brake caliper slide grease, when I get around to fixing
the PTO in my Corsair I. The main problem seems to be the
grease, and not wearing of the bearings.
