Locate the link in the #50 chain and remove it.
Now you can disconnect the chain. Repeat on other side.
TIP: Put the link back on the chain so that you don’t loose it.
Loosen the 5/16” nuts on the steering return spring eyebolts.
Remove the springs. I always use a screwdriver to pry the spring towards the back of the Max out of the U channel. Just be careful not to let it fly off.
Remove the cotter pins or spring clips from the steering push rods at the bottom of the U channel. Then remove the shift rods. Again, you may want to put the pins back in the rods after you remove them from the channel so that you don’t lose them.
These are some of the most difficult to remove on the whole 6x6. Long needle nose pliers really come in handy.
Remove the cotter pins from the transmission shift rods.
Loosen the four 9/16” bolts on the top half of the T20. (There are two on each side)
This will allow you to slide the shifters up enough to get the shift rods out.
Loosen the remaining four 9/16” bolts on the bottom half of the T20. (Again, there are two on each side)
You can now tilt the T20 towards the rear of the 6x6 and remove the belt.
Loosen the four bolts that hold the engine to the frame and slid it towards the rear.
Remove the T20 from the frame: Tilt the transmission back so that the bolts clear the front two slots. Then slide the T20 towards the rear to clear the back slots. You can see the slots in this picture:
Now on to the installation ...
