Rain Train Repari

17 years ago

I ordered a new transmission assembly for my Nelson Rain Train traveling sprinkler. To install it, I need to remove the wheels. I've tried prying the press-on hubs off for about a half an hour using a miniature crow bar, but they have barely moved. I'm worried that by prying too hard I will crack the wheel.

Has anyone removed these hubs, before?

Hi wxman,

Here is what is in a pdf instruction book for the raintrain.

HUBS/WHEELS: Vise grips are used to remove
silver hub from wheel. Lock on hub and rock back
and forth until hub comes off. Remove the left
hand side wheel to replace gears on drive axle.
Make sure that the hose coupling fitting is pointed
towards you. This will determine your left side.

Aloha
