Ok, take a look at the pics and see what you think. I didn't realize until now that the generator bay is offset, so amatching access panel on that side is out of the question. I may see if I can use a narrower panel. Any other ideas for accessing this leg?
fj, thank you for the info about where the label is. I can reach the top of the left leg and will look under that cover. There is absolutely no way to reach that other leg without either cutting an access panel or removing the genset. There is 4" between the top of the genset enclosure and the top of the compartment. Barely had enough room to get my camera in there to take the pics. Can't even get close to reaching it, let alone working on it.
I am trying to avoid pulling the genset, not only to fix the problem, but like I said in #4, I'm sure that some grease on these gears and shafts every year or so is a good idea. I definitely don't want to pull the genset every year just to maintain. I would like to upgrade to a dual motor system at some point, but that's just not in the budget right now.
For those that have pulled generators, am I trying too hard to avoid what is actually and easy job?? I hate to start cutting holes and stuff if it is a 30 minute job to pull the generator.
