JD 4320 front axle seals

[farmglide]

The left front axle seal on my 4320 is seeping a bit and I would like to know if anyone has done this repair and if so was it much of a job?
I guess I should purchase a repair manual as the machine has 1500 Hrs on it and stuff happens.

Thanks for the response, FG

FG, not difficult at all. Remove the wheel, remove the cover plate #24 over a drainpan. Once off, remove snapring #16 and push the axle shaft out of the cover. Replace seal #22 and assemble back together. Top off with oil.
Good luck.

TT,
I should have been more specific.
Looks like 30 is the seal that is leaking.
Where did the exploded diagram you enclosed come from?

Thank you for your reply, FG

FG, I have not disassembled that portion and have not studied it enough to advise.
