HRX476CQXE gearbox change

[dave59]

I have been struggling with this for a while (5 week wait at Honda dealer). I just joined the forum and saw Mick's post in an old thread that three rivets have to be removed! That explains it after countless session on AI which doesn't know because there's nothing on the internet detailing the procedure. I got the frame bolts out then thought it might drop out. No chance. if anyone direct me to more detailed instructions or YouTube or elsewhere? Or I just drill out the rivets and get new bits from DIY spare parts. I have a new gearbox ready to fit.

Hi Dave, and welcome to TGMForum.

The gearbox removal is basically.
1: Disconnect clutch cable at the handle end. That will let you pull the cable through with the gearbox. 
2: Slip chain off gearbox sprocket
3: Remove roller frame pivot bolts and pull out of the way of the following steps.
4: Remove gearbox sprocket buy removing pin.
5: remove push on fix holding the HOC conrod and slip that off.
6: Drill out the three rivets and slide that plate off. Each rivet has a washer underneath which you'll need when fittng the new rivets.
7: Wriggle gearbox out.(making sure you keep all the washers to put back on the new box).

Fit gearbox in reverse order.
