Tractor Repair: IH B414 Rear Axle Seal, rear axle seal, oil seal


Question
I have a leaking right rear axle seal that is bad enough that i need to look at replacing it.  How do you pull the axle out to get the oil out?

Answer
  To remove the axle to replace the seal, the axle housing must be removed from the rear end.  There is a bolt and retainer on the inner end of the axle that must be removed and then the axle can be pulled out of the housing.  There is an oil seal, felt dust seal, and gasket in the seal retainer on the outer end of the axle housing.
