F-20 Axle Oil Leak Question

My F-20 has begun to drip some oil from the rear wheel hub area onto the wheel rim, making a mess. I removed the wheel to determine the source of the leak. I understand that there's a 6" felt washer behind the hub/axle end that keeps the oil in the bull gear housing. To replace the felt, since the old one is probably shot, it seems that I just need to remove the cover plate over the inner end of the axle and remove a retaining nut, then pull the axle out of the housing from the wheel side. Then the felt can be replaced. Has anyone out there tackled this job before?

I have recently rebuilt the final drive boxes on my F-20 during a complete restoration. I did replace the felt seals you are talking about. It is not real difficult. You may want to keep the wheel bolted up and sitting on the ground when you remove the two nuts from the inside. They are about 2.5 inches, and may be quite tight. Or, they may have loosened over the years and not be too hard. Have you tried to grease the outer bearing? The Zerk fitting feeds directly to the outer roller bearings. If you put heavy grease here, it should not leak. Also, the level of oil in the drop box should not reach the axle. If the level is too high, it may leak also. I can send you some pics of my boxes as I was putting them together. Email me with your address.
