    • Flip planer onto its top.

    • It's a good idea to clamp it to your stand or work surface before attempting to remove nut.

    • Place a piece of wood on the cutter assembly to lock it in place. The existing cylinder lock doesn't provide enough holding power.

    • Using both hands, gently work off the drive belt being careful not to pinch your fingers. Initially push down on the back side of the belt with your right hand while carefully twisting the pulley with your left. Once you get half way, move your right hand to the front of the pulley and press down. Take your time.

    • Using a 22mm socket wrench, holding it with both hands so you don't slip, and gently unscrew the drive nut. It only needs a short twist to break the torque then can be unscrewed the rest of the way by hand.

    • WARNING: The drive nut is a left-hand thread so you'll need to use the tightening setup on your wrench (turn clockwise).

    • Pull off the pulley.

    • Go to other end of planer and remove gear box cover. It simply lifts off.

    • Tie drive chains together so everything stays in same location. Remove three retaining rings with a retaining ring plier (easiest and safest way to do it, buy one at your local hardware store).

    • Pull off two sets of chain and sprockets and carefully lay aside.

    • Remove four M5 x 35mm screws with a 4mm allen wrench. Leave the remaining two bolts in place.

    • Using a bearing removal tool, drive the bearing out of its socket. This will drive the bearing out of the other end so stop when both bearings are loose.

    • My turned bearing removal tool. It worked fine.

    • Using two flat head screwdrivers, carefully press against the bearing to work it off.

    • Remove the pinion gear. I put my cutter assembly in a wood vice then carefully used a small pipe wrench to unscrew the gear. It only took a little pressure to get the gear to start unscrewing. If it doesn't come off easily, try WD-40, wait a bit, then try unscrewing again.

    • Clean the pinion gear and screw it onto the new cutter.

    • Using heavy gloves, carefully insert the cutter into the housing from the drive belt side. If it doesn't slide easily into the bearing seats, use a soft head mallet to drive it in. Screw the bearing retainer onto the bearing and housing to seat the bearing properly.
