Steering shaft shaft and pinion gear plus worn out upper drive belt

More than 2 hours
Tools Used
Screwdriver, Pliers, Power Drill, Socket set, Wrench Set, A good jack is required plus a lug nut hammer drill .
Drive belt pulley was the hardest . You have drop the engine pulley off the engine shaft and fan on top of the rear hydrostatic drive . Its especially essential to have a hammer drill to do that . Pre soak both both of them with wd40 . On the fan, remove battery and pull out it's box holder, seat also . Front and back pulleys need to be removed to install drive belt otherwise you can't get belt replaced . Did that also at the same time of steering shaft and pinion gear . Remove steering wheel, plus gas tank. Also under side nut .
