DCM, I ruined a couple of good gear pullers and eventually cracked (30 ton air assisted puller) the wheel hub on a 10-20 trying to remove a wheel from the axle, your 15-30 is virtually the same thing only larger. Over time the old gear oil that has leaked out can form an unbeleivable bond.
Believe it or not the axle comes out (wheel with axle attached)really easy and simply. Check out the process in your over-haul manual, it is a very simple process allowing for the weight of wheel and axle together.
The weight will be your most significant challenge because your wheel and axle will be together. Take the wheel and axle to a machine shop where the axle can be pressed out.
Order up a set of felt seals from Rice and your in business. After cleaning the area very well where the felt seal sits lightly oil that cleaned area and install the dry seal. After it is installed empregnate the exposed seal surface with heavy axle grease. Best done in warm weather as it will infiltrate the entire seal with patience. That axle grease seems to seems to allow the seal to stand up better to the gear oil. I have replaced the felt axle seals on both a 10-20 and a 15-30 this way with good results, no leaks yet. I think I would have to run the old girl 15 hours a day for weeks at a time like the old timers did to test the grease in felt seal technique to be sure though. My 10-20 and 15-30 get run maybe 5 hours a year.
I have digital pictures of removing the axle and hub together but I do not know how to post them here. I can try to send the pictures to your e-mail address if you think they would be helpful.
Good luck!
