Snow blower Honda HS80 WA Wheel drive axle bearing replacement - How ?
#1   Nov 5, 2014 2:16 pm
My HS80 WA (wheels, not tracks) broke the right side wheel bearing.  I found a replacement part but when I look at the machine and the drawings for it I am nervous about my limited mechanical skills.

It looks like I may need to take the entire transmission out and apart in order to replace the bearing and reverse assemble to fix it.  With that possibility I bought (2) of the bearings to replace both sides.

But, looking at this machine makes me wonder, is there some way to get the wheel drive axle out so I can replace those 2 bearings without taking the whole machine apart? 

Anyone been there, done that?

If you have some knowledge of this machine I could use advice right now.  Snow coming soon.

Is this is a job for a modestly skilled man with tools to try?  Cannot afford to destroy this machine in the process.

Thanks.
