Does anyone know how to clean suction screen on 544a. Looks to me like transmission needs to come out. Only about 1/2” of room between cover and frame.
It's only been thirty years, but isn't there a rubber 90 hose you remove, then a circle of bolts, pull the strainer and metal ring plate out of the case? I remember doing it, but not how tight it was. Did change the drive biscuits once too!
Thank u. Yes that is what I was looking at. I guess there is no way to get it out short of pulling transmission. There is only about 3/4” space between the frame and that cover. Not enough to hardly remove the bolts. So can’t see any way I could get the strainer out. Seems a strange way to build something that needs to be serviced as a maintenance procedure.
