I've ordered some oil for the spindle on my Techie. It's one of the ones with the black plastic "gear" on the bottom of the spindle shaft and I'd like to know how to remove it. I didn't want to force it and risk damaging anything so I'm asking if anyone here can tell me how it's done. From info I've gleaned from the web, my deck is probably around 25yrs old. So far it's running like a fine Swiss watch and not missing a beat but it probably could use a fresh lube by now.
TIA
