The axle slides out through the sprockets. There is also an external seal guard that is clamped over the non-removable hub (bearing housing) four 3/8 bolts each. As it turns out in my case the chaincase was so full of hydraulic oil from a slow leak in a motor that it was being pushed back out through the seal. I drained off about 8 gallons of oil which brought the level down to normal. Now I know that whenever I have to add hydraulic oil, I have to check the chaincase oil level too. So the leaking motor seal is probably not going to be repaired on my watch.</p></blockquote><p></p>
