I have a fluid leak at the right rear axle, is it worth replaceing the felt at the end of the axle or will I end up pulling the axle anyway?
can the axle be pulled with the wheel still attached??

Are there any common problems I will run into?

That felt at the outside of the axle is only for dust control. You will have to pull the rear cover and axles to replace the seal causing it to leak fluid. You will probably have to remove the wheel, as it makes it easier to replace the axle without damaging the new seal.

The felt at the outer end of the housing is not the gear case oil seal, it is more a dust shield for the outer bearing cavity. The gear case oil seal is at the inboard axle bearing's location and pulling the axles is the only way to replace these seals.

Pulling the axles wheel and all is not a problem if you have enough chains & lifting tools.

Don't know of any really tricky steps. I would be inclined to at least check if not adjust other bearing and shaft tolerances while in there. Not doing so is in my mind kind of like climbing up all but the last two steps of the Washington Monument. If I'm that close I'd check the rest of 'em but that's just my pair o pennies for today.

It's pretty straight forward work.

Later.
