The bearing and seal were changed at the same time. Getting the snap ring out using a good snap ring tool is still hard to do but with some help it can be done. Make sure it has the right size tip and use a small hook to pull the ring out once compressed. The bearing comes off easily using a rubber mallet.

Think it took me longer to find all my tools than it did to replace the rear axle seal, bearing, & both snap rings. You need to drain the hydraulic oil. You’ll also need a good set of reversible snap ring pliers or one set each of external/internal to do the job right & fast.

Place new bearing in toaster oven set to 300 degrees F for a few minutes. This will expand the metal of the bearing allowing it to slide on easily.
