If it is a belt drive there should be an eclip on the end of the shaft, remove it and the wheel should slide off,you have to lock handle in nuetral to release tension on the belt, the bearings are sealed bearing and should pop out with a little pop from a flat punch or piece of dowel.
I appreciate your time. Thank you for confiming thats what I thought, but its not moving. I will give it a good wack. I was suprised but it is low on grease may be stuck.
does it move at all? just remembered there is a piece mounted on the engine deck that cleans out the pulley grooves, that may need to be loosened and swung out of the way to get the wheel off. I have seen some that were frozen up on the shaft, they just need some "help" to get them off, my suggestion is to put some never sieze in the shaft when you reinstall the wheel.
(all this to fix a slow leak in the tire.) Do you have a recomendation for best part prices. I am going to replace all the bearings at the same time. The inner bearing was going bad, (the reason it was so hard to get off.) So I will replace all the bearings.
is there a number on the bearing? if so and you have local bearing shop it would probably be the best bet, or you could take the bearing in and let them match it up, the p/n you need should one of the 2 following 48193-02 if od is 1.9" or 481858 if od is 2.0"
