Removed the wheel and the pinion and bearing housing. Pressed the new bearing into the new bearing housing and then then pressed in the fiber sleeve into the bearing housing. Install the new bearing housing into the wheel bracket. Installed the pinion spacer washer and then the pinon gear. and installed the snap ring retainer.

... Read morelled new wheel and axle bolt with the new spacer washer. Note: I had just installed a new pinion gear a few days before.
Works ok so far. No pinion gear jumping on the wheel gear. Suspect the bearing and the fiber sleeve for the drive shaft from the transmission was worn causing the skipping problem on my Toro personal pace mower.

The original bearings were totally worn out, the plastic sleeves were gone completely, the rear wheels were moving around and causing the gears inside the wheel to misalign and grind and wear out quick. I replaced the bearings and bushings to get rid of the slop, the bearing retainer just made the job easier so I could replace the assembl
... Read morey and did not have to remove the old bearing. It goes together just like the parts drawings on the website. I had already replaced the wheels/drive gears and pinion gears prior and that did not solve my problem.
