You could drain the fluid out and than pump it back in after you remount.

Thinking of getting spacers on my TYM 2515.
Not sure if I should go with just rears or get fronts too.
I have lots of rolling hills here in N Ga.
Good Evening Comancheria,
I have the rear rims on my MF1040 dished out for more stability on hillsides. Just feels that the tractor is more stable with this setup !

I ordered some 3” Bro-Tec’s yesterday.
Dude had them shipped like a minute after I hit send on payment…..lol.

I put the Bro-Tek’s on today.
Very fun job.
Wheels were heavy but I didn’t have too hard a time moving them around.
I just let them rest against the front tires.
When I went back on I just let off the parking brake so I could turn the hub to position and lowered the jack as needed and the wheels just fell right onto the bolt holes like butter.
Yes jack stands were still there.
I had to remove the two studs on each hub by simply double nutting the studs to turn them out.
They used some pretty nasty loc tite so I had to chase the threads and used brake kleen to get it all dry.
Used blue loc tite and did not use the tapered lug nuts against the wheel but used the flat ones with my original lock washers…the kit came with both types.
Torqued to 120 LbFt as per instructions, paint penned every lug nut and the spacer bolts on the inside of the hub flange.
I normally would not writem all this but I’m putting it out there in case anyone has the same tractor and is looking to do this.
I don’t drink beer but I feel I need one after that job…..very rewarding.
Here’s some not so great pics of the finished stance.
The last pic shows one side done and the other stock.
