We have an oil leak at the rear axle housing to transmission housing on our SMTA. We removed the (7) bolts securing axle housing to tranmission housing. We have also removed the (4)bolts along with the bearing retainer to the axle shaft on the outboard side of the housing. What are we missing? The housing doesn't want to budge off the axle shaft or away form the transmission housing. Is there some sort of retainer holding it on? Do we have to remove the seat and the platform to get at it? We would appreciate your thoughts and help with our problem.

Bolt your axle housing back to the transmissoion housing and start over (you can leave the bolts out of the bearing retainer). You forgot the bull gear.
I don't remember if you can remove the bull gear through the PTO hole or not. Usually the platform is removed from the transaxle. Either way get access to the bull gear and remove the bolt holding the bull gear to the axle. I used to screw the bolt back into the axle without the big washer. Then place a piece of material beween the bolt and the other axle. Then screw the bolt out to push the axle out of the bull gear. After the axle is removed the axle housing will come off.

Yep, You forgot the bull gear. You can sneak up through the PTO hole and take it loose. When I did this to my 400 last summer, I shimmed the bull gear in place with wooden shims and used a block of wood between the retaining bolts on the bull gear to push the axle out of the bull gear using the retaining bolt and not let that heavy gear drop. There is also a retainer on the inter bearing on the axle. You may want to check that inter bearing because that housing leaking is the first sigh that bearing may be going bad.
