I replaced the wheels on one of these last week, took me hours I had to cut the wheels off with a holesaw then I had to cut along the axle so I could cut one side off the bearing and another cut along the axle at 90 degrees to the first cut so I could get the bearings off the shaft. Obviously Honda machine the axles with too little clearance and the slightest bit of rust and they are a permanent fixture. I have had the occasional wheel rusted on on other mowers that have been in the rain for a long time but never like this
