My right side, as I sit on the tractor, rear axle got bent by someone backing into my tractor. Is there a step by step procedure somewhere that I could use to replace it?

Edit - OOPS On a BX2200 the housing would NOT have to come off to release the inner end of the axle. As posted below by "tinkerwitheverything", the axle is held in by a snap ring behind the seal. (The inner end snap ring and bearing appear to come out with it) As always, a prompt cheerful refund is offered when info I post is bogus. Sorry.

The housing would have to come off to release the inner end of the axle. Is the axle housing cracked? Oil leaking out? Is the wheel bent?
Pictures of all damaged parts would help too!;):)

What kind of tractor.BX series ??? If it's a BX series in order to pull the axle out you'll have to take the rear wheel off and remove the axle seal. Behind the axle seal is a internal snap ring remove it and the axle will slide out.

Maybe try swapping rear tires to make sure it is the axle and not the rim?
Unless ypu see that the axle is bent.
Then look at the parts breakdown online may help to see how things come apart.
