23 Reo 229 #1 Posted April 17, 2013 Are there any tricks to removing the lift bar on my 72 Raider 14? I've removed the three bolts. My lift bar is badly bent and pulled back past the last stop. Any help would be appreciated. Is there a general repair manual for Wheel Horses other than the owners manual or parts manual? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,291 #2 Posted April 17, 2013 Not sure, but is there a bolt or pin in the bar going across under the hood? I seem to remember that is a 2 piece bar fitting inside the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 605 #3 Posted April 17, 2013 There is a sleeve on the inside that is keyed to the shaft with a square key and is held in place with a pin some show a hair pin some may have a roll pin. Not sure about yours as the drawing I found is not clear on what is holding it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callen 64 #4 Posted April 17, 2013 There should be a hairpin right behind the part that the bolts thread into that has to be removed so that part can slide towards the center of the lift bar. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
