Im confused how shaft can go it..dont it rest on ring gear lol im 80 yrs old maybe time give up tractor repair...thank u kindly

I believe it should rotate off the ring gear as it goes in. That is why tap is better than pound. Lol

Is there a way you can post a picture of the bearing and shaft? I would not think it would need to move much before the bearing gets free.

You may have to remove the differential case first. I was hoping it would move in enough to free the bearing.

Think i got bearing out but i dont see no c clip to get shaft out..less still part bearing left in..i had to split bearing to get out..lol i might be over my head

It definitely looks like the outer race is still in there. You may be able to pull it with a slide hammer but catching just the race and not the snap ring will be a challenge.

I agree with that! Wonder what type of oil was used in the front end?
