I have wrestled fast hitches off before, but I never seem to remember the proper sequence for unbolting things. I think I did it correctly this time, only to realize the rear wheels are set to 40", and there is not enough room to get the hitch out from between the 2 finals!!

So unless someone knows a magic trick for this (I did searches like crazy, to no avail), I guess tomorrow I will unstrap the now disjointed fast hitch, and go ahead and remove one final, slide out the fast hitch, work on the brake, change the 2 seals (final & differential), check the gear oil level (probably remove the pan, clean and replace it with new gasket), reassemble that side and move on to the other.
Oh well...it's too wet and cold here to really do much at the farm anyway...might as well "JUST DO IT"!!

P.S. I did find the INSTALLATION MANUAL for the fast hitch, and found they never mention the wheel width required to attach it, but did notice the right wheel was NOT on in the installation photos. Should have made me wonder then, right??!!
