Jacked up the garden tractor ; blocked the wheels and put a block under the deck. Safety is paramount. Pried off rubber cap on wheel and removed the retaining clip , washers and wheel. Got 2 wrenches to remove nut from "tie rod end thingy" pried off spindle rubber cap , clip , washer and part fell to ground. Greased up new part and installed in reverse order. I used pliers to install the retaining clips and the 90 degree "hose pick" to help install the rubber caps. Removed blocks lowered machine , MOC and test flight complete. Works good/lasts long time.
