2210 front pinion bearing

[Zephrant]

I need to replace #9. Can I put a gear puller on it and pop it right off?

Those are some rough looking castings. Looks like Asian quality, but not the typical Japanese Yan Deere finish I would expect.

Also learned the front lower wheel assemblies have their own fluid reservoir, and that they have probably never been changed since it was built.

Can I press out the wheel hub to get that main gear off, without removing those snap rings that appear to be buried inside this assembly? I need to replace #9. Can I put a gear puller on it and pop it right off?

It looks like snap ring (10) holds gear (9) in place. A bearing puller should help get bearing (11) off, then the gear should come free without much fight. Then you can press (or drive) the shaft out, assuming you're after the seal and sleeve (2) and (3)?.

Looking at it again, I think I just need to remove the big gear #9, can't tell how to get that snap ring out though. Looks buried between the bearing and big gear.

Ok, I think I can press off that big gear, and the snap ring is holding that bearing in to the big gear from the back side.

I can just barely see a snap ring between the big gear and the housing, but I think that will stay with the housing. It's below the big gear.
