Kelly, you are correct about the transmission and engine on the cradle and it being held in place with three large bolts. Removing the whole assembly will allow for better access but it is not necessary. You should be able to loosen the set screws on the bearings and sprocket and slide the intermediate shaft towards the center of the frame. This will allow the shaft to slide out of the outer bearing. Then you can tilt the shaft up and pull it out of the inner bearing. The only thing that throws a wrench in that plan is when the shaft is seized on the bearings. Then, the best route would be to just bust the outer race of the bearings with a hammer to gain some extra clearance. Good luck.

New to the forum and the 6x6 wold,I'm in Australia, East Gippsland, Vic. just got 3 Goanna's 6x6 (yes the one's of eBay) My brother and I do a lot of fiberglass for Aust Valiant's and make mini hot rod's. So we will be making the Goanna's and use The Edge Products 6x6 frame. I can't wait to get one going, with 8 acres of land (a good base camp) and 5 min drive to the fores or the lakes it will be a LOT of fun.
