Randy, On the TEA-20 you have only one seal at the outer hub. You have to drill off the collar holding the bearing race on. Then heat the race up with a torch, careful not to scorch it. When the bearing race is heated up you can bounce the axle on a piece of wood and the whole thing will eventually drive itself off. This takes a few times with the torch. Or, you can take it to the tractor mechanic and for $35.00, including the seal, they'll put you a new one on and you'll be good to go. Let me give you a pointer on disassembly and reassmebly: There are some brass shims between the hub and axle housing, be careful to save these intact. There is a machined race on the inside of the axle housing that mates with a raised collar on the hub. Clean, clean, clean these areas with lacquer thinner and put a grease resistant RTV sealant on them. Also, put your parking brake on securely after you slide one axle out or you'll have a helluva time getting it meshed back up again because you're holding the axle and brake assembly altogether at once. Needless to say, do one side at a time. Take my advice and buy the manual. It's available here at Yesterday's Tractors and it's only about $60.00. NCtim
