My 4230 rear axle seal is leaking ,can i replace the seal just by removing the wheel ?

The axle shaft has to come out to the inside of housing, won't slide to the outside.
So the axle housing must come off. IIRC

Does that mean there is a nut somewhere that when i start to tighten until i feel resistant on the axle shaft?

Well I am back,cant get the wheel of the axle,every things corroded ,twisted one cap screw,cut that out with torch, still no go.
The bolt that you that turn to bring out the wheel feels like is welded.
Put everything back and leave it as it is???????????? lost.

Are talking about the cap screws (key part # 9 in Tx Jim pic) that broke off?

I don't relate to "bolt that you .. turn to bring out the wheel.." as to what that is.

Do you have 5 bolts on the senter of you rim ? 2 Standing out (looks as if it is loose ? Then you have the rachet sisteme to use ! First looses the 3 bolts then screw in that 2 bolts to ******* the wedge then you can turn the bolt on the side to adjust the wheel in or out !

There's no need to remove wheel to R&R axle seal as axle housing must be removed from axle while wheel stays intact.
