Drain fluids as needed.
Start by soaking the pins for the lift rams at the base as the pins will need to come out.
Remove seat assembly and brake cover.
While you are soaking, soak the top pivot pins on
brake bands, they will most likely not come out easily, may need a hot wrench for them.
Starting with removing anything mounted above the fenders, like ROPS, canopy.
Remove batteries, box, fenders and platforms.
Use safe supports under differential housing and hitch area to support SAFELY!
Remove wheel weights, then remove the tires/rims from the centers, this I thought would be easier to attach chains for hoisting to the wheel center and housing.
Remove the lift ram pin at the base end.
Attach chain(s) to the axle, supporting axle as in line as possible, remove nuts from axle housing and remove axle.
You will want to put new seals in the differential carrier bearings(inside and will have to be removed to do this), inspect O rings closely, its easier to replace them now vs do it later when you don't have the time to do it.
The left side is the easiest and I started on it first, your preference though.
The hydraulic control assembly will need to loosened/jockied and some linkage disconnected to remove right axle , take your time, it can be done.
I did the left side first(the easiest) then went to the right.
I did my 185 3 years ago and may have forgotten a few little things but you will see these as you work along the way.
I hope this is clear to understand, HTH
