There was a thread a while back I cant remember what the title was.
But it spoke of an air leak from the back of the fuel filter houseing.
If i find the thread do the link thing here.

Tells how to do it with housing spreader.
Allot of the steps are unnecessary such as removing the axle and placing it on a stand etc
Basically all I did was remove the 4 bolts...
Ive used sockets on the turbine deck that was driven by an air impact so big that it was moved into place with the ceiling crane and took 3 guys to run it. Now that is a purty big socket.:mrgreen:
I agree with ODdave on tossing the gasket.
To get the pumpkin out i very carfully pryed it out with a small bar.
It will act like it doesnt want to come out but as long as you removed the 4 pillow block bolts , and of course the axle shafts it will come.
To replace the ceals yes you have to remove the pumpkin.
Remove the 4 bolts from the pillow blocks and she should pop out.
As for cleaning i would use WD-40. I wouldnt take the gears apart unless there is evident damage.
