Experienced MD11 or MD17 mechanics.

Hi, I need MD11/MD17 governor specific information.

I need to remove a seized governor.
The manual states " remove screw (#15 in pic) and withdraw assembly"

Well that assembly is pretty tight.
At first I thought circlip #3 was the problem, but it looks like the entire assembly, 2 bearings and spacer is coming out.

Before I start applying pressure I need a little confirmation.

I need real world experience, not theoretical knowledge.

If this comes out, how did you pull it?

A little bump. Surely someone has pulled a governor from a Penta MD?

From the title I thought you were looking for MD11 aircraft mechanics. I thought, thats really a stretch finding one here, but what the heck.

But sorry I cant be of any help for your problem.

Fwiw the governor assembly (governor, shaft, bearing, spacer, bearing) on the MD 17(and 11 by the looks of it ) pulls out after removing the set screw. My spare motor was not rusty at all, so I pried it out, but that is not ideal. Ideal would be making a bridge puller, bolted to the engine , and using that to pull (or push) the assembly out (or in)
