Bit of help here. If you have the same brake as on my E20 (two pucks plus a
cam that pushes two pins to engage one of the pucks) then you don't need to
"drop" the transaxle, but you should jack up the back of the tractor, take
the wheel off, and loosen the bolts on that side of the transaxle to get it
to drop about an inch or two. Then put it all together.
