Oliver 77 rear axle bearings

[FarmersWife2022]

Hello, my husband and I are trying to remove the rear axle bearings on a 1953 77 row crop diesel, we have the assembly apart, but can’t figure out how to remove the 2 bearings on the ends of the axle housing, any help would be appreciated!! Thank you

Isn't there a snap ring that needs to be removed prior to the bearings?

Yes, we got the main snap rings off, is there a smaller one we are missing? We know the bearings are cone shaped, both small ends of the cones going towards the center of the housing.

I don't recall anything other than the snap rings. Use a long drift and beat them out or use a slide hammer puller?

We were able to rig up a system to push them out, thank you for responding!
