Wow I just had another thought, when the axle broke it just so happened to be right in my drive way but of course the axle slid right out about z20inches, you suppose that the axle bent or cocked the axle bearing so it was binding up, I never replaced that, I got a new seal but maybe I wrecked the bearing out ther when that happened ????? Am such a rookie !!! Are the axle bearings pressed in there, they must be as I could not pull it out with my fingers when I took it apart the first time ?????
