Snow blower Honda HS80 WA Wheel drive axle bearing replacement - How ?

My HS80 WA (wheels, not tracks) broke the right side wheel bearing. I found a replacement part but when I look at the machine and the drawings for it I am nervous about my limited mechanical skills.
It looks like I may need to take the entire transmission out and apart in order to replace the bearing and reverse assemble to fix it. With that possibility I bought (2) of the bearings to replace both sides.
But, looking at this machine makes me wonder, is there some way to get the wheel drive axle out so I can replace those 2 bearings without taking the whole machine apart?
Anyone been there, done that?
If you have some knowledge of this machine I could use advice right now. Snow coming soon.
Is this is a job for a modestly skilled man with tools to try? Cannot afford to destroy this machine in the process.
Thanks.
