Get yourself a manual- it's a JOB. You have to drop the driveshaft, then remove the crossarm , then support and unbolt the housing from the engine, and pulll it off. A number of the bolts are hard to get at, and the ones under are usually rusted solid. Good luck...watch out for the wiring on the backup switch and neutral safety switch towards the rear of the housing, on top. They are color coded, so get them back on right. I installed bullet plugs to make it eassier to take off the switches for cleaning and check. BE VERY CAREFUL not to lose the copper washers between the switches and the housing -- those are spacers, and if you don't have them, you will NOT be able to back up! And you will mess up the switch. Getting it all back on is even nastier than off- I've done it 3 times. Use 1/2 inch drive wrenches.....
