Ford 4000 Rear axle seal replacement

Bill from Scotland · Nov 19, 2020

So ive just replaced the right axle seal and wheel bearing with good success. I now doing the left side axle (as seen while seated on tractor) problem though is that I cannot seem to manage to slacken the half shaft cap screw so end result I cannot remove it to replace the seal. Having put a huge amount of pressure on the cap screw (long extension on socket) and it hasnt budged Im wondering if it might be an anti-clockwise thread. What you guys think? Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

It's not left hand thread, I can tell you that much. I assume you've removed the locking tab? If so, sounds like you either need more grunt or a big impact wrench.
