I'll be darned, here I was reading y'alls posts and there was my name... Yup, been there. I recall that I did it the hard way, heating and beating the thing out with a slide hammer. My neighbor showed me a quick way. You weld a bead inside the race all the way around. Make sure the ends of the weld are connected. Now sit back and wait. It will fall out on its own when it cools. If I recall correctly, the bearing is on the plate and it was quite nasty to remove as well. I believe it came off with incrementally larger chisels used as wedges working around the bearing. Reinstall required the use of an oven and a freezer. I have my tractor set on a pretty steep hill and a fella stopped by to look at it. I knocked the shifters into neutral and fired it up. The brake was set so it wasn't going anywhere. It was obvious from everyone there that I was the only one in attendance that trusted the brakes. They hold tight. As I found the same thing, I tore into the other side immediately. The right bearing was in better shape than the left, but still bore replacing. I was there already and all. Also if you pull into the right side, you can pull the carrier and clean up all that crud under the pto and diffy. Hope your project goes well. Fire me an email if you cannot get it out and I will try to dig up pics of my project. Aaron
