Hey Guys- I have a 1971 Melroe/Bobcat M600 skid steer. I am leaking hydraulic oil from the inside of the machine and it appears to be coming from the rear axle inner housings. I purchased new O-rings and the four holed gaskets from Bobcat. I crawled underneath the machine and removed the caps and the O-rings were pretty bad. The gaskets appear to be leaking as well. I removed the castle nut and washers, but did not want to force the inner axle housing off. Can I remove this housing and replace the gasket without having to remove the side panels/axle shaft/sprocket/etc...? The gasket I am referring to is the gasket which is between the frame of the machine and the axle housing underneath the machine. Please let me know as I will probably have to order more parts such as bearings if I have to tear this whole thing down. I was hoping I could replace the O-ring and gasket without having to do all this as the outer seals and gaskets don't leak. Any info is greatly appreciated- thanks very much - Larry
