Another way is to support the tractor with jackstands under the footrests, disconnect the brake and hydro linkage, and pull the rearend out of the tractor with the driveshaft attached. Then you can fix the driveshaft, the trunion slot, and the cork gasket, and adjust the brakes very easily. If you turn it on its side or on end without draining the rear you'll lose a bunch of Hytran out of the breather.
Also, don't use a nylock nut- the insert will probably melt from the heat. It's not necessary anyway, a properly torqued OEM nut will not back off.
