Mini Skid Steer Repair Assistance

[gwrace14651]

Hello guys I have a mini skid steer with about 15 hours on it. The right front wheel developed a bad wobble and I suspect it needs bearings. I was able to remove the tire, hub, spindle and release if from the chain drive. I have it to the point where it slides a bit in the casing. But I can't figure out how to remove either the tire side or gear at the top. Tried a pulled and nothing. Any suggestions how to get to the bearings?

Try a "mini skid steer" forum. Seriously, not in my wheelhouse.

The bolts behind the wheel flange are one place to start. Elsewise it looks like there is a spindle nut on the gear side. A big napa store should have a spindle nut socket that fits that. Also looks like there may be a keyway in there aswell. Not sure how you would get the key out but it could just be for an alignment washer that is sandwiched in there somewhere.

This is the type of socket it looks like you need. Take the part with you.
