depends which model,but undo the 1/2" bolt in the centre of the wheel and slide wheel off axle. However by experience i know that if the axles havent been removed and axles greased regularly then you will have trouble getting them off, You will need to spray wd40 or similar dowm the axles and then jack up rear of machine, get a block of wood and a big hammer and knock the wheel from the inside while sprying wd40 onto the axle every time the wheel moves a bit
not something easy to do... there is a bolt in the bottom of the shaft. there is a steering wheel that has to be removed. then the shaft lifts up and then you tilt it as you are sliding it out... heed my first statement
most likely rust has taken over
find some liquid wrench or pb blaster and spray the axles liberally and let it penetrate the axles and wheel hubs where the axle goes through.
use a 2x4 and a hammer to tap against the wheel hub to try to move it down the axle then tap in back on to try to free it up as the penetrating oil works in, spin the wheel and tap in different areas of it
the worst case cenario would be to use a torch and heat the axle and hub up and drive it off, but it sounds as though you are moving it some and with some patience they eventually should come off
when you put them back be sure to coat the axle with some grease and do not forget to reinstall the key stock in each wheel, if they have it
the bolt in the center of the axle is all you need to remove and note where the washers came from and where they go back.
You should be able to remove the bolt from the center with a 1/2" socket an slide it off the axle. You do not want to do any heavy hammering on the wheel because you could possibly drive the axle out of the transmission. MTD mowers are notorious for being hard to get the rear wheels off. If you do get them off or ever buy a new one, remove the rear wheels and coat the axles with anti-seize compound. Good luck
it depends on which style mower most ayp (poulan craftsman husquvarna....) are put on with a e clip they may become froze to it but can be removed. now most mtd (yard man yard machines bolens troy bilt...) have a revers thread bolt with a tapered shaft trust me i worked on theses for 10 years. why would you want to take it off anyway? everything can be done with it still on
