L245DT Front axle bearing replacement

[J.Asplund]

Hello all,

I got an L245dt that have been running without oil in the front axle due to a leaking seal. Fortunately it seems like there's no damage to any gears but the bearings (except the lower ones) were in bad condition.

I have replaced the bearings and seals on both sides, but there are two bearings at the front axle outer end(no. 18 in the attached picture) that i also would like to replace, but I am not sure how to.

Can I just unscrew the bolts and remove the axle housing from the differential housing and pull the housing+axle out without risking making a mess inside the diff?

I got the shop manual, but I can't find this info there so I thought I'd better ask before doing something stupid...

Thanks in advance,
Regs Jonathan

Just remove the axle with the gear and bearing. You will not have any problems with the differential. Great tractor.

Thanks for the reply. I made a small puller, worked like a charm.
