I am restoring a 1940 H and it has a lot of oil leaks beneath the transmission case. I figure the axle seals are bad. Does anyone have any link to a video or more detailed and clear instructions other than what the IT shop manual has for how to remove rear axles? Any help anyone can give me would be appreciated. I am especially confused on whether the axle slides out of the differential gear; or does the gear have to be removed first? Also, the IT shop manual says when you reinstall you have to adjust the bearings with shims. The only shims I have will be the ones I take out. Do I just put back in the same number I take out or what do I need to do to adjust the bearings?
Thank you.
Thank you.
