Remove the two screws as shown on the picture and put them in the same container. After removing the two inch screws, the pods may still be on tightly. It's rare that the medium turbine spindle would need to be replaced. Lift the turbine and the two bearings out of place.
They are smaller than the others, so remember that when putting it back together. After I was done, I was able to blow into the gear box and hear the spinning sound, as described. "price2989": "4.94",
