    7336 Question. cover removal...

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the black plastic gear head cover from my old PC 7336. It's always been a loose fitting cover (by design i believe) but I want to get inside there and clean and grease everything up. Can anyone tell me the magic trick?

    For the life of me, I can't get it off.

    Re: 7336 Question. cover removal...

    Looked around just a little and found a site that had a slight amount of info.
    Here was a response to a customer that had asked the same question.


    "Hello rwhitaker1,

    There are no screws holding the 699946 gear housing cover on. You have to work at by prying it off and it is not an easy job. Sometimes it ends up breaking. But as far as I know that's the only way to remove it. Maybe one of our forum members will read this and have a better way to do it."

    Just seems to be pressure fit. It be nice if they told you which direction it comes off, but I would assume it would move it forward.

    Thanks Mantilgh. That is what it seems like now that you mention it... a pressure fit cover that just may take some persuadin'! I just hope it goes back on easily.

    If I figure it out, dlc, i'll let you know what worked.

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah, me too. I got fairly aggressive with it earlier today but then was afraid I might break it so I figured i'd ask here.

    The plastic cover snaps onto the metal gear housing. Use a large punch or block of wood and drive it off with light hammer strokes, towards the front. I have 2 of them and have removed the covers before.

    I usually drive one side behind the handle mount hole until it moves a bit and then hit the other side and it pops off.

    To put it back on, just set it in place and snap it on with judicious application of the pimp hand. Got to keep your pimp hand strong.
