Bearing puller finally came. Bit late in the day, but we're in a hurry, so it got put to work and while it did not fit inside the concave gear (har!) it worked anyways with some sandal squat mechanic inspiration.
The gushing seal is busted of course but it looks like eons of normal wear rather than anything special like grass damage. Certainly hasn't been replaced in a long time, if ever. Of course now I worry about the others.
The outer bearing is also worn out, but that's normal, the inner bearing is still ok but will get replaced too.
I'll put it back together tomorrow and we'll see if there's any more leaks on the front axle.
