[QUOTE="Posi, post: 11618696, member: 49592"] Honestly there's no reason to break the seal on the snout at all. Not unless you just want to really clean everything out. You could do this by putting some type of cleaner in it and spinning the snout shaft by hand and leaning it forward to get it up in the front bearings too. Then just let it drain out the fill/drain hole. Then just spray everything back out with Brake Cleaner really good. After that just refill with whatever oil you're going to use and the snout will think it had been taken apart. Now if you want to take it apart it's very easy to do. 1. Drain oil 2. Take the snout bolts out 3. Whack the front of the snout up towards the pulley with a rubber mallet. When this breaks loose you sould be able to "wiggle" (by grabbing the pulley) the snout up and down and it should come right off. 4. Now if you want to you can now remove the rotors that are attached to the rotor plate. If you look in say the 2 o'clock and 10 o'clock positions there are some nice TABS to hit with that same mallet. Hit those and see if it comes loose. Once it starts moving it comes out pretty easy. If you can't get it to move if you look underneath the rotor plate you'll see some really good places to pry on. Between the two you'll get it taken apart. 5. You can clean the rear needle bearings by using brake cleaner and an acid brush. This will get everything out of them. You can use a hose to help rinse if off in the process. For reassembly.. 1. Pack the rear needle bearings with synthetic grease and you'll only need 3 small fingertips worth in each one. If you put to much in that's fine but try not to. 2. The rotor pack does not need to seal inside the case so I always just slide that back in after cleaning all the old sealant off. This makes it to where if the blower ever has to be taken back apart it's very easy to do so. 3. Clean both the surfaces for the snout with brake cleaner and a scotch brite pad. Then you can use the Anaerobic sealant to seal this or even black RTV sealant as well. Be sure and put it on super thin because when you tighten the snout up whatever oozes outside the snout area is also going inside the snout. What I do is put it on super thin and then use my finger to smear it around on the snout. 4. Clean the snout bolts and put a tiny bit of loctite on them. Retorque in a star pattern to 23ft lbs. It's really this easy and YOU CANNOT put it back together wrong. It's impossible because there are hollow dowels to locate everything back to where it needs to be. If you have any questions just shoot me a pm or post them here. [/QUOTE]
