Mower Deck Spindle Housing Cleanup was created by M Bailey
I really dread working on deck spindles mainly because of the mess they make trying to clean them up. This process makes cleaning the grease from the housing easy by using wadded up newspaper and forcing it through the bore of the housing directly into a trash bag. After a couple of passes each way it's ready for reassembly.

Here's one that shelled out the upper seal-spacer that was really ugly.

And after the newspaper treatment

You bet GT, nothing but moly. It goes back together today. May take some reassembly pics for anyone who hasn't experienced the joy of tearing one down :faint
