I would suspect that the box highlighted above will contain the locking collar. When you get the kit check out the box and break open the small parts kit. There should be the spring and actuator pin and probably some washers or spring seats. I would say the best path of attack would be to remove both brake assemblies as you want to look at them. Then the top cover and the left side final drive. I think you may be able to pull the side bearing after removing the retainer and hopefully assemble everything from there.

I will see try to take some pics of the pedal assembly on my L225 if I get up to camp this weekend
I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you.
@Russell King the kit DID actually come with a lock ring but it has 5 or 6 pins instead of two like the picture you posted. Since the part is available not too concerned, I’ll share pics when I get in there, and then we’ll see which version fits. hmm

If it came with the kit, I am sure it is the correct part.

I didn’t notice that was a box in the middle of the gasket (in your picture). I thought it was a label on a plastic bag with the gaskets inside.
