Thanks for that, I got it off without too much trouble, I had a feeling from memory that it was screwed and it is and was pretty tight,had to use a cold chisel on it to get it moving and once free it was easy to spin off and put the new bearings in. From memory the bearings in the Stallion were bigger, may not have been but I remember with that one I machined the housing out because the bearing was a bit loose and I then fitted 3 bearings in it to give it a bit more strength. I rebuilt an Anniversary model last year but I didn't have to replace the deck bearings because they had just been done. Thanks for the heads up on those being LH threads, I will note that
