No need to drain oil as the oil level is well below the opening in the chain case. It helps to not have the loader tipped so the sprocket rolls towards the center of the chain case. As long as you can see the complete hole in the sprocket you should be able to slide the axle back in. You just need to be careful when you tighten the nuts. If you look at the new axle you will see a built up area around the inner bearing. This built up portion must fit in the opening of the chain case. Just sticking the axle in and tightening the bolts can distort the chain case if the built up area is not in the hole. Install the axle housing on the bolts and start some nuts to hold it in place. Use a large screwdriver in one of the slots and pull the axle away from the center of the loader and the built up area will slip into the opening. Be sure to use a new oring on the axle housing. Grease it well to hold in place.</p></blockquote><p></p>
