Is there any reason that the hub will not drop after removing both snap rings, lower gear and shaft? Although I'm working on a MF1635 the schematics are identical to the 1533.
Thanks

Unfortunately it's a no go, after trying the other side with the same results I must be missing something.. Used the BFH (rubber shot one) and pounded away with zero movement. I have noticed that the outer bearing surface moved freely but the inter stays put. Thought about applying heat to it, but don't wish to either damage the bearing or set fire to the inner workings. any other ideas would be appreciated. Attached pictures to show removed split rings.

With the help of this thread, I was able to replace both seals on my AGCO ST30x. I struggled to get the bottom cap off, to solve this I drilled a hole in the cap and ran a self tapping screw into the hole and pryed it out that way. (Assuming you have new caps).
also remember to support the housing when you take off the second snap ring, you wouldn't want it to fall on your face.
It's great this post is helping people 12 years later !
Hello Mr Steve! I need help and so glad your still replying to this old thread. Here is my situation. 2014 MF 1529 compact. No bottom cap like yours. Had to remove outer hub which gives me a small access to the first snap ring. After breaking two pliers I got it undone but not completely off. I was then able to drop the hub off. Now I am stuck. I cannot pull out the rod and inter bearing since it seems I needed to remove the first snap ring all he way off. So here are my questions.
1. How to now remove the snap ring since it is blocking the removal of the rod pulling out. I cannot widening it enough around the rod or do I need to?
2. Since I now have access to the top where the seal is located how in the world can I get that removed? Heat? It is completely stuck on the hub casing. Btw I do not see any of it on the down support so I just need to get it off the casing. As I pick and prod it is all falling into the shaft and bearings. Did not think that was good so I stopped.
3. I do not really see a need to get the second snap ring since I can now get to the seal. So that may make my first question mute. Assuming you agree.
Trying to save $600 from the local shop but this has been painful. Thank you so much for your help and advice.
