[QUOTE="coreya3212, post: 29341, member: 2406"] Hey Jeffco. My exp on the seal job, take the cab right off, pull both covers, pump and teh foot pedals and that cover. Basically strip everything you can out of the way, cause tis hard enough to get at the rear sprockets. Yank drive motors blah blah. Special tools, not really that I recal. the Nut that holds the axle and sprocket is like 3 and 1/2 inch diameter. I dont have a wrench or socket that big, so I used a big pipe wrench to grip them. Good news is they arent really tight, so getting a hold and spinning the wheel broke the nts loose. There is a through bolt thru the nut and axle to keep them from backing off as well. Once the nuts are off the axle, I gave a yank on the wheel and they pulled off except one. Then I used a bottle jack as per tazza to get the one that wouldnt come. The axles are huge in thickness, I have seen grater axles half as thick. Very beefy. One bearing would come off the axle, so as long as you got a press you are in good shape.I think the manual states to pull the axle hubs or housings, but I didnt do that. Change the big O ring in the idler sprocket adjustment, if yours is extrenal like mine cause that was leeaking on mine on the ne side as well. Onl other thing I can think I would do different is using the aux hyd with a hose to evacuate the majority of the hyd oil. I re used mine. Couple new garbage can with lids to keep clean.
