[TenTec] Re: Dissolving PTO grease

[n4lq]

dave:
Sounds like you are trying to clean and lube a PTO without taking it 
apart. Seems impossible. Teflon is not thick enough to make the 3 ball 
bearings work properly at the front end and how could you get the grease 
off the drive screw without removing it? Are you sure this is a TenTec 
rig?
