Housing mandrel broke again. The blade hits the ground or something that stops it and the torque breaks the housing mount from the deck.

Drop the deck. Seems like a lot but well worth it to pull a few pins and get it out where you can work on it. Remove housing mandrel. Pop the bearings and rod out and put them in the new one. Then bolt it back on the deck and put the deck back on the mower.

The hardest was the removal of old Mandrel due to corrosion and hardened Bolts.
Limited space to work on without removal of deck.
