I took my front hubs off to check bearing and re grease. How do you get the inter dust shield out without bending it up? I tried to push it out with the bearing but all I ended up with is a bent dust shield and a bad bearing. Any info would be most helpful!

THANKS ('';'') BUDD

Good Morning Budd, Ive just about resigned myslef to always buy new inner seals if I have to remove them, cuz theyre not all that expensive and probably seal a bit better anyway. Clean and polish smooth the spindle all around the sealing surface. Ive also uded the method to remove the outer bearign and washer and replace the nut and use it to catch the inner bearing and force the seal out, but that dont seem to save much. The problem, or course, is drivign the seal out around its outermost edges without messign up the neoprene sealing ring itslef or bendign that small soft piece or metal. Theres so much grease its hard to look down inside and see or get to where the seal may be driven out so as not to damage it.

I have one of those bevel rounded end regular "seal pullers" and they sometimes do a good job, but still often create some bend and push out around the seals edge.

Sorry I have no good trick or answer, I guess thats why I give up and usually just use new inner seals. Hope someomne has the good answer, cuz it may save me money in the future.

Good Luck n God Bless ya Budd

Budd, it's hard to get those dust shields out without bending them..

~I usually just pull the axle nut, then the outer bearing, then re-install the nut about even with the end of the axle, then slide the hub & inner bearing out briskly against the nut.. That usually pops the inner bearing & dust shield out.. That will still probably bend the dust shield up a little but it can be straightened quite easily with a body hammer..

You're welcome Budd.. As you probably found out by now those seal retainers are just a tin housing with removable felts in them & are not a rubber or neoprene seal, so they do straighten pretty easily if bent... I don't believe they are available from Deere anymore but there is a place that is reproducing them if you do bend one beyond repair..
