There was a short paved drive to the trailhead.  Most of our rigs are not set up for pavement but we made it just fine.

I read through the procedure on Clarks Garage. I also watched some Youtube videos. These looked intimidating, but I decided I had to give it a go.

I began by removing the shifter from the rod and the torque tube.  I then removed the transaxle.
