(40 minutes)
All the YouTube videos I saw made this seem like everything would just slide apart and back together. Those must have been on bigger tractors. I don’t have access to a press or bearing pullers, but I was still able to complete the job. I found that I had to pry the end beating far enough to release the drive gear collars/keepers before I could knock the shaft the rest of the way through that bearing. To reassemble, you will need a very deep socket, piece of pipe, or some other means of pressing the outer bearing all the way near the bottom of the shaft
