Noise from front end on 4400 JD utility tractor

Found it was the lower bearing on the spindle shaft.

The internal snap ring was a bear to get off. Had to make a tool and bent the ring.

Stubut.

All good now? Thanks for the posts. Hope I don't need them, but having them on the Forum will help along the way.

What did your gap end up with the new bearing? Be sure to put new seals in.
