rear seals

dino in iowa · Aug 15, 2012

Is there anything to stop seals from leaking on 560 Int. tractor rear axle, or are they hard to replace

Remove the rear wheels and the caps on the axles, the seal is in the cap. When I remove wheels I remove the rims and the wheel weights to lessen the weight and use an engine hoist, or whatever it's called.

Pretty easy job. Biggest thing is heavy parts and rusty bolts.

Clean the axle shat VERY well before sliding the cap on. I have also heard of putting something between the seal and the axle to avoid nicking the new seal during reinstallation.

I have used a piece of paper around the axle to protect the seal.

That must be where I heard it from.
