47 8n front wheel bearing seal

pixer · Jun 27, 2017

Front seal leaking on my 8n . Manual says drive rear bearing and seal off and replace seal. I just want to change inner seal, is it necessary to drive bearing and cup "race" out just to replace inner seal. Bearing seem good but losing lots of grass

No , you do not need to removed the race . Reach through the center and lightly tap the bearing and it will push out the seal . Remember the seal keeps dirt out and rides against the spindle lip .

They make caps with grease zerks built in . I push grease through my bearings until it pushes out any old dirty grease . It makes a mess but she aint a looker anyways .

thanksforthrinformation ken I'm very cautious when doing these jobs I'm prone to use a jack hammer when a tack hammer will do.
