Hi I can't think of any other way to do it, but I'm always ready to learn. MTF

you need to pull the bull gear off to get the axle off, it can be done through the pto hole if you have small hands, easier if you take trans cover off

Yes. You need to remove the transmission cover and remove the bull gear and the bolt holding the bull gear to the axle.

Going in through the PTO hole works.
There are two big bolts between the bull gears holding them to the splined axles. (drain the oil!!) Then loosen the head of the bolt on the side being replaced by blocking the wrench handle, and turning the wheel! I would block up the bull gear with metal shims under it to the case, to prevent it from moving when removing the axle, it makes putting it together much more satisfactory. Put a block (metal) between the head of the loose bolt and the head of the other one, and use the bolt as a screw jack to push the axle out of the bull gear. It is tight, it is greasy, it is a braille situation when your hand is in there, but it can be done. JimN

I agree with the PTO idea. I've done it that way on my W-4 and I have big hands. Much quicker than taking the whole trans cover off.
A word of caution though, if you're taking the axle out to get the cast iron wheel hub off, it is HEAVY... so be careful. (I used a cherry-picker on mine)
Good luck!
