450 JD steering clutch shaft removal


Hey guys need help removing steering clutch and brake shaft .I Have removed pinion shaft to bull gear. But can not pull next shaft out, it has a 3/8-16 thread in end of shaft. Pulled on it with puller but did not move. Are their any ring locks on it I have not seen or does it just pull straight out. This is a straight John deere 450 crawler.
Thanks for any help. Scooty

Look here page 5 http://www.jdcrawlers.com/messageboard/ ... c&start=60 if you are pulling both clutches (you may have to pull both) then you can use a brass rod or soft galvanized water pipe 3/4 or 1" from the other side to help drive it out that what Dennis (crawler123) had to do on his

Good find jt, Really needs to be a sticky area where some of these important repetitive posts can be placed.

there are no locking pins, clips or any thing else, I used a slide hammer. support the clutch assembly and get after it, be aware that there is a spacer on the end of that shaft.

shafts, pulled and a pic of the spacer on the end of the inner shaft
