Bx2200 axle pivot leak

[johann]

Has anybody changed the seals on the pivot pin that holds front axle on? It looks pretty straight forward, but like anything when it comes to wrenching on things there can always be surprises and tricks to make the job easier....any advise?

Do you mean bevel case seal or where the axle pivots in the center where it attaches to the frame?

Where the axle attaches to the frame and pivots on a pin that runs through.

It isn't a bad job to do.

I do recommend getting a new pin (AKA Shaft Center): K2561-15133 --- SHAFT CENTER

do you have to disconnect the hydraulic steering lines when you drop axle/differential

I did. It's not hard. I treat hydraulic hoses like I do brake lines. You don't want to chance having something hanging off them yanking up the hose.
