Fordson Brake Seals

I have what I believe to be a Fordson Super Major (Ford 5000 Diesel here in US). I have a brake seal that is leaking and was wondering how to get to it. It has the disc type brakes by your feet. I have removed the brakes, etc. The rear housing, however will only move a fraction of an inch. Does anyone have a step-by-step process of getting into the seals? I am new to these old disc-type brakes and the Fordson tractors. Thanks and God Bless.
 
The disc brake housing should come straight off if you have both discs and the actuator
out. Ring of bolts holding it to the rear axle housing and also the bull pinion shaft
housing but the brake housing just pulls out when you have all the bolts out. Then just
knock the seal out and replace.
 
I remember the brake housing being really stuck to the pinion housing when I did mine.. These are the only pictures I took when I did mine. Hope they help.

Thanks for the help! Who do you use to find parts such as these?
