Repairs Replacing oil seal boot on snapper RER 30086- Series 6

Hello: I need to replace the oil seal boot, the one between the left rear fender and the chain case on a Snapper RER 30086 - Series 6. Is it possible to remove left side rear tire, then remove the fender , the the bearing and fit it through onto the axle or do I have to remove the axle from the right fender by pulling it through the chain case and the differential? Hopefully Mow Joe will read this. He was great with my last snapper RER question. thank you. Zachary

The left one is the easy one, provided the wheel hub will come off. Just remove the wheel, hub, fender, and the boot will be right there for the changing.
