Piper,

Thanks for looking a my little problem. I watched a         U-Tube video about front seal replacement on a Kubota. The guy used a chisel to separate everything, then he used dirty solvent and a rag to clean the parts. The two half washers were in a small sleeve, not in the gear’s ID.

Maybe, a bearing separator will do the job. One of the U-Tube videos said that, when pressing the gear into place, it will sound like a shotgun blast when the washers go into place. That statement makes me worry.

Thanks again, I will send and update once it is disassembled.
