So I've seen a few threads about how to replace these and a couple YouTube videos. I've got it all apart, definitely need a large snap ring pliers, not the basic one from the auto parts store. All the earlier info references that the new seals are 2 piece. The seal that goes in the knuckle, and a race that goes on the kingpin. My questions is has this seal been revised? 32721-56223 is what the dealer gave me. I don't seem to have the "race" portion. Is this another part I need to order? Re-use the old ones? Or have my old eyes failed me and I'm missing something obvious?

OK, local dealer confirmed that the seal has been revised. New version is no longer 2 piece. Has an integral "race" portion still, but not separate from the seal. I got everything back together with some effort. Needed 4 hands, but just 2 available. I used a small bottle jack under the knuckle assembly once I had the splines lined up for the internal shaft. Put upwards pressure with the jack using the weight of the tractor, wail on the axle housing with a 4lb dead blow hammer. Rinse/Repeat and the knuckle slowly walked up into place. Hold pressure with the jack, and slip the snap ring into place.

Tractor is back together and now I'm ready to mow. Should know in a couple days if anything still leaks.
