D Grader - help! Rear wheel shaft seal replacement

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Well, it's been a while since my grader was running and it's finally ready for new hydraulic hoses after replacing all of the spools and adding power steering to it!  But before it's ready to work again, I need to replace the seal on the left rear wheel shaft.  I have a diagram of the assembly from the manual as shown below.

The question is: how to replace the seal?  From what I can see I will need to:

Drain the oil in the chain box
Dismount the rim from the wheel
Remove the wheel (this is going to be seriously hard and probably require an hydraulic puller)
Remove the outer bearing retainer
Remove the old seal
Install the new seal in the retainer
Replace the retainer, probably with a new gasket
Reassemble wheel.
Does that sound right? I expect there's no way to get around pulling the retainer off, but thought it was worth asking the group.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can offer any insight!
