Hi One
I changed out the seals in my Repowered LI
It is not a easy job unless your hubs are loose.
The hubs can be a pain.
I used a 3 legged car wheel puller put 3 bolts with Large washer
thru the hubs at the slots.
I dogged it down petty tight
Held a hammer under the hub under the taper.
and smacked it hard on both sides
tightened a little more and smacked the end of the puller.
it popped loose.
I left nut loose but not off enough to hit the end of the puller.
I had about 1/8 of play.
The reason for that is when they do pop they can jump across the room.
So now all i have to do is take the 4 bolts out.
Best drain oil first.
the cap can be tight so you have to wake it up a little.
The seals are in the cap.
There about 3 different seals styles and different OD sizes.
I had a set of seals for a C10 but the LI is different then the C10.
I went to Applied industrial but they did not have a seal like was in it.
But they had two seals the right ID and OD. so I got them and put them in.
I used Blue glue (RTV) on the out side and grease on the inside .
Both seals are for 1.00 shafts but the OD is different.
If the hubs are loose and the cap is not tight it would be easy.
BTW here some pictures of my First L Repower ready for work.
I got a lot work to get a mowing deck ready.
Thanks Bruce g
