Need help with axle seal behind hub on a 3320

[XviperX2]

I lost all the fluid in my front axle after a 12 hour day of digging and moving dirt with my FEL, I am sure it is just the seal after reading some other posts on here but I am stuck?? I have removed the clip and tried to use an 8" gear puller on the gear but i cant get the bearing to move at all. What am i doing wrong??? Thanks for any advise you can give!

My hub is the same. I used a press and pushed on the shaft once the
circlip was removed. As I recall, you can't get a puller behind the bearing
by itself. Spicer uses interference fit bearings, unfortunately.

As DF said use a press. I hope you too the c clip off before trying the puller.

Thanks i was able to get it with the gear puller. once i had it as tight as i could i hit the center screw on the puller, it broke free then came off fairly easy.

Do you by chance have a pic of the puller setup that you used?
Glad it worked for you, and some of may be faced with the same problem sooner or later.
Thanks

The correct tool to put it back on is a press, too, but I suppose a
hammer will work.
