Ariens 1974 910019 tractor for 24" 6hp snowblower. While in service position and replacing the friction disc, I note that I also have a problem with the bushing/bearing that is on the right wheel. It is broken off and just kind of hnging on the wheel axle. There is obviously some play. Looks like about a $5 part but I do not see how to get to it. It is a differential model but it is the wheel on the non-differential side. Can anyone help with some direction or instruction on getting to this to replace it? Thanks.

Helpful hint.
When driving those pins out.  Be careful not to get the drift punch stuck in the hole.  I good way to keep that from happening it to spin the punch in the hole a little after each blow with the hammer.
Doing that lets you know if it's starting to get stuck, before it really gets stuck.  The pin on the right side of the axle is where you can have the problem.
A piece of solid brass or bronze rod works really well for driving the pin down flush with the axle before using the drift punch.  Doing that eliminates the possibility of spreading the pin when you first start driving it down.
