Seized engine (for replacement) or just a busted bearing for PTO clutch

 This post watched a video of a lawn mower that does not turn.  The battery was juiced up and oil was added.  Still the engine would stop.  There was a heavy resistance in its turning.  

Here we see the importance of past experience and critical thinking.   The mechanic postulated it could be the PTO clutch assembly And true enough, there was a busted bearing that made it hard for the engine to turn.  When the clutch was removed (and consequently the bearing replaced) the engine turned well.   

Great repairs.  Great savings for the lawn mower owner

Subaru Forester rear bearing assembly removal

 This would seem to be a favorite topic, being one of the most difficult task for the said vehicle.   You may need a hammer removal tool, and fabricate a pusher type of tool to remove the assembly from the hub.  More power

We happen to own a Subaru Forester, that is why this is an interesting repair topic
