The tension wheel and 2 idler wheels are identical. The
drive wheel is assembled differently than the others.
Tension and Idler Wheels
Remove the cutting wire before taking off any of the
wheels.
1.
Remove the nut on the end of the hub bolt and pull the
bolt out of the wheel mounting fixture.
Figure 4-10. Remove the hub bolt to take off the
wheel. The bolt head is on top in this view, with the nut
on the bottom of the fixture.
It may be easier to work on
the wheel if you set it on
something that supports the
side plate, with a gap for the
hub shaft to keep it from sit-
ting on the shaft.
2.
Remove the wheel from its mounting fixture and set it
on a work surface. You can work on either side of the
wheel.
3.
Remove the 6 screws holding the side plate in place.
You only need to remove one side plate.
