Tips for Removing Stubborn Gearbox for Replacement on 5th Wheel Landing Gear
Question:
/We are trying to replace the gear box on a 2005 StarCraft Homestead 5th Wheel camper. I can get the parts off but the gear box will not come away from the shaft. Any ideas?

If you check out mark 4:30 of he attached installation video you can see where our team member removes the Stromberg Carlson Gearbox # LG-179015.
In the video it does remove pretty easily and so if you are having trouble I would try using some lubricant like WD-40 to loosen it up. Since you are replacing the gearbox you can afford to use a 2x4 and a hammer to further assist in removing it as well.
