Please be careful first and I hope i remember correctly. I;m sure someone will remember what i have forgot. The final drives are Heavy as a assembly. The right wheel is cast and HEAVY, probably 150# or so.Also the diff shaft is long so you need plenty of room for the entire shaft to come out when the houseings are loose. The brake drum is on the shaft with a set screw and woodruff key. sometimes the are stubborn. wedge the front of the tractor just to be safe to keep it from moveing. Do one side at a time.I do not know how strong you are as to the weight you can lift. You can support the final with a floor jack but remember the bottom is round and will be unstable.Cherry picker may be more stable with less chance of falling. I think i used the floor jack method. If it has the outer wheel weight then yes remove it first. , but remember the right wheel is just as heavy as the weight. The cast wheel is for the counterbalance. Mine has weight on both sides for traction. All the peices are over 100# . You could probably do the brakes without removing the final drives completely if you have to support for the final drives. I had to replace seals also. If i'm wrong someone please correct me.
