Gentlemen, the job is not that difficult if you have a couple of things. I replaced the rear seals and brakes on my final drives on my 1944 A 2 years ago. Same exact setup.
first, I built cribbing under the rear of the tractor so that the rear wheels were both 2" off the floor. I did this under my overhead beam trolley system in the garage, with the overhead beam directly over and parallel to the axles.
I then used the trolley and a 5/16" chain bolted to the final drives where the draw bar bolts on. remove the bolts holding the final drive on the axle housing. used the trolly to "roll" the whole final drive, wheel and all, away from the axle housings. replaced seals and brakes while the whole final drive was hanging on the trolley. When ready rolled then back and re-installed.
was able to complete as a 1 man job, and very little risk of injury or accident. I am sure a cherry picker shop crane would work in place of a trolley system. If you have the right equipment, it is not a big job at all. did both sides on a Saturday in about 6 hours total.....that included 1 coffee break before noon, and 1 beer break around 2!
