Krey,

Being you are this far into it if I were you I would wait until dealer gets everything in.

As far as removing thrust bearing that was pretty easy, was able to drive it down with a brass punch. As for the retainers, that can be more difficult. Upon advice from my CNH service manager I cut mine with a sawzall. Just go slow amd try to cut only the retainer. They are pretty hard metal and after cutting the three out the blade was shot. The real trick is getting the new retainers back in straight. I messed one up and had to do over again. Service manager let me use his bushing driver and it sure made it easier. On the bottom bushing be sure you check the grease hole on the old one and put new in same way. It is offset. I had to return one as it was drilled in the center.

Before putting shaft back in besure to put some light oil on the oil seals. This will prevent them from rolling over. Also, I coated the bushings with anti-seize, did this both when installing and then on inside before reinstalling the shaft. I put gearlube back in my SMTA, and so far it hasn't leaked. Previous owner, and I know others do this, used grease. Problem with grease is that if you live in a cold climate , the tractor will be hard to steer in the winter.

Good luck
