One of the front hubs on my Massey 398 4wd is leaking at the input shaft. I see Massey used 2 different hubs, It has the hub (later type I believe) that has the single plug to drain/fill the hub instead of 2 plugs.
I have a shop manual, looks to be a fair job to replace the seal...nevermind I'd have to buy or fabricate a pin puller to remove the swivel housing to get at it.
So two things...any way to replace the seal without all that disassembly? Am I looking at the shop manual wrong?
Or use EP rated corn head grease in the hub instead of oil. Yes, not the right way, but I've used the cornhead grease before when I've been too lazy/no time to tear a leaky gearbox apart and fix properly.
Thanks
