B7000 rear half shaft seal leak

[DaveG]

Looking for some help. My B7000's rear half shaft seal is leaking and I need to replace. Can this be done from the outside or will I need to split the gear case to change it

What exactly are you calling the rear half shaft?
PTO stub shaft or Axle shaft?
I know it's probably a UK thing!

 

[DaveG]

Axle shaft. You're right. A UK thing !!

That seal is done without removing anything other that the hub, wheel and tire.
If there is a lot of wear on the axle shaft you might need a Speedi sleeve to give it a new surface to seal to.

Thanks. That's a great help. Am I right in assuming you just lever them out with a screwdriver or sharp point ? Also I haven't seen the Speedi Sleeves before. Can you point me in the direction of where I can get them. Thanks. Dave

Most places that sell bearings or seals will have Speedi Sleeves, places like auto parts stores.

This might help if you need it.
