Jon, are you sure the problem is in the rear axel bearings? Those bearings don't often fail unless the drive has taken on a lot of condensation or the gear lube has leaked out and it's rusted up. How far have you taken it apart? Your problem could be in the brakes on the diff drive shafts. Do you have a repair manual? The manual has drawings that will show you how the thing is built. Which side of the tractor are you working on? To remove the rear axel bearings you need to remove the rear axel shaft. You can tussel with it on the tractor. It may not be a gravy job. Support the tractor well. You are going to be underneath. Block the wheels. Remove the rear wheel. Remove the bottom pan. Remove the cap on the inside under the tractor. Remove the 4 bolts from the outer bearing retainer. Remove the bolt/washer/spacer on the end of the axel shaft under the tractor. Put wood blocking under the bull gear so it doesn't drop to the floor when you drive the axel shaft out from underneath. Put the bolt back in the axel shaft underneath less the washers and spacers. Drive the axel out of the housing with a large soft faced maul on the bolt from underneath. Wear safety goggles. The bolt is hard. If you have a large brass drift use it with a steel maul. If you are beating on that hard bolt with a large hard faced hammer (not recommended) there is danger for slivers to fly off at high speed. These slivers can fly and penetrate the skin. There are spacers internal. The outer bearing may go with the shaft but may stay in the housing. The inner bearing may go with the shaft for a small distance til the bull gear contacts the housing at which point the shaft must be driven til the bearing is off the shaft.
