JD 4100 4WD front wheel final drive damage

[dgr321]

I have a loose axel on the right front of a JD4100. Oil leaks through the worn area.

I have the tire off and the eight bolts are removed from the M807518 COVER. Any ideas on how to get the cover off now? The tech manual says (page 5-66)

"5. Remove eight cap screws (A). Remove the final drive cover and hub shaft from the final drive housing.
NOTE: Use a rubber hammer to loosen the cover. Do not force the cover off as damage may result."

It is pretty well stuck on and will take some forcing to get it off. I tried to slowly apply some force from the bottom with a hydraulic jack on the axle exterior to see if I could pry it off from the bottom but ended up lifting the tractor and not loosening the cover.

Thanks,

Doug

I got the gear case cover off (along with the gear case and spindle assembly) and I am now looking at damage from the final drive cover up to the spindle housing assembly. Many bearings, gears and some of the structural hardware will need to be replaced. Anyone out there know of a place to simply buy a replacement spindle/gearcase assembly? That might be an attractive option based on my limited time, tools, and talent. Or maybe I there is a repair shop to just take the assembly to and rebuild.

Thanks
