If you need to replace the seals at the top of the final drive, you will have to take off the wheels. On my first try, it took about 4-hours total for the left side but I was also replacing the left final drive and moving the fender over on a B. Take the wheel off at the hub. Have a floor jack handy to roll the drive out when removed. Removing and reinstalling the drive is a two man job unless you have a lift. Removing the seal can be a job unless you have the proper tools. DO NOT DRIVE IT IN AS YOU WILL HAVE TO CUT IT UP TO GET IT OUT. (Experience talking here.) Have a seal puller handy. You may be able to drive it out if you have a hook with an end you can drive. An old Farmall hand crank may work but I would go for the seal puller. Carefully reinsert the axel end as you can dammage the new seal during reinstallation and be right where you started. I do not recommend using an air wrench on the axel bolts. They may be old and brittle and the air wrench may break one off. At least break them loose with a pull handle before you start up the air wrench. Since the left seal is at the break band, you may want to have a new band handy to replace the old one that may be soaked in oil. larry
