Tym T353 Oil leaks

[Davedur]

Hi all, I wonder if someone can help please.
I have just bought a second hand TYM T353 Manual (2012). There is a significant oil leak from the offside back axle and a smaller leak from the one on the other side. I think i am going to have to replace the shaft seals. Does anyone know if this can be done without dismantling the whole axle assembly or can I just remove the shaft seal housing? If I have to go into the axle assembly, apart from seals, are there any parts i need before i start? (Gaskets? etc). Thanks in advance. Newbie to the whole tractor thing.

Since the axles have a flange to mount the wheel, you do need to take the entire axle housing out to change the seal.

Here is a link to a parts manual. Check out page 120: https://static1.squarespace.com/sta...1adda9a1d015/1483141153350/T303+T353+NHEU.pdf

Thanks ptsg for getting back so quickly.
I had a quick look last weekend and feared that would be the case. Looks a tricky job but i'll give it a go.

Tricky part usually is the bearings. If they are a press fit in to the shaft, can be a pain to get out without proper tooling.
