Worst part is getting the PTO in and out of the rig. By all means do it yourself. I've done over a dozen and they keep getting easier. No need to realign.

You can find good instructions at W5ESE's website. I also agree that figuring out how to remove it from the rig is the hardest part. I doc; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00531.html (9,159 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Andrew Moore <andrew.nv1b@gmail.com>; Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 12:44:45 -0500; I think I used rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush to rebuild the PTO on my Triton 540. Probably similar PTO. The process is straight forward if you're mechanically inclined, and there should be help an; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00533.html (7,612 bytes)
6. [TenTec] PTO Rebuild or not? (score: 1): Author: Don Rasmussen <wb8yqj@yahoo.com>; Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 11:11:40 -0800 (PST); Sending to TenTec would be a terrible waste, unless you cannot deal with teeny little tiny parts. Eyesight and coordination are necessary, brain power is not. It is very easy to figure out with the; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00535.html (8,997 bytes)

Just follow the instructions and try not to drop any small parts or ball bearings. Do the disassembly and assembly work in a small pan. For cleaning, I wiped off the; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00561.html (9,618 bytes)
9. Re: [TenTec] PTO Rebuild or not? (score: 1): Author: Bwana Bob <wb2vuf@verizon.net>; Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2010 22:41:36 -0500; Yes, you really don't need to replace parts unless they are badly worn. Usually a cleaning and re-lube will do the trick. Be careful with WD-40, though. Someone on this reflector said that it can cor; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00563.html (10,329 bytes)
