I've never been impressed with seeing the local JD techs whacking the axle with a maul. First of all, the operator manual tells you how to use the five bolts. Buy that. Beyond that- find a pipe slightly larger than the tractor axle. Cut away half of it's diameter a few inches, so when laid on the axle, with the -to be moved wedge on top- the longer portion fits the tapered half you need to move. Weld a half inch piece of flat stock across the end and whack THAT with a post maul to drive the wedge inward. Does not damage any bearings, just moves what you need to loosen.
