Hey folks
I have Farmtrac 555 it has brake(rubber)boots on the actuator shafts and into the wheel hubs. Boots are held in place around actuator shaft with a heavy wire clip around the saft --- on the hub side is a plate that holds the flat side of the boot to the hub with two bolts. The purpose of the boot is to seal the hub opening around brake actuator shaft and prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid from wet brake system.
These boot are rubber/vinyl and deteriorate with age--leak and must be replaced.
Does anyone now to replace the boot without having to remove the wheel/outside hub and brake disc?
Intially, I thought it would be and easy fix --- undo the inside support and attachments on the actuator shaft and slip the new boot on and secure it ----- but the bolts attaching shaft support are so tight -- penetrating oil/impact wrench/heat --- does not help loosen them. Any thoughts are appreciated.
