Like I said at the end of the video I think leaving the seals in is the correct choice as those bearing spins so slow the sealed ones will last way longer than the mower ever will 👍
I'm almost sure they do...i believe it's a 5/8 axle. I would look on john deere parts site and see if the front wheel assembly has the same part#. I did look at a couple listings and the s170 WAS listed it just doesn't show up in the description (but if you look at details of the listing on amazon it lists 50+models it fits).
This is a fantastic demonstration of using the proper tool for the job! Unfortunately, you left out the part of about what is the correct tool after demonstrating what not to do! The plastic handle on a screwdriver can break when struck with a hammer. The hammer can be damaged if you strike with the cheek of a hammer. As you are pointing to where the grease goes, you just pushed dirty grease into the bearing.
A 3/8" socket extension works great too. That's what I used to do mine. It's a great mod. I left the seals in.

Good vid on bearings instead of bushings.
Thanks 👍
How about a socket extension
Why couldn't you use the old bushing to install the new bearings As it's outside diameter should be the same?
Honestly I think that would work fine and I can't tell you why I didn't do that..probably just didn't think about it!
I have a S170, just wondering if same bearing conversion kit will work for my mower.

You need to buy better tools or quit being scared to use what you got!
I leave my sealed bearings “sealed”.
Don't ever remove the grease seals from a sealed bearing this is a stupid move. The seal is to keep the grease in and the dirt and water etc. out.
The inner seal isn't exposed to water/dirt (unless you park in a river).
