Front Right Drive Oil Leak - B7500 with 351 hours

2002 B7500

I’ve been using my tractor in 4WD to blow snow this month as January has been snowy. I noticed today that I have oil on the floor under my right front axle hub. Any feedback on confirming where the leak is and how difficult the fix would be?

Fairly easy fix.
The WSM (Aka Service manual) will go over details.

This is not a biggy labor intensive repair... I did it on my B2410. Took me longer to clean everything up before assembly than it did to replace the seal and assemble.

Good to know. Do I need any special tools? Any guess on how long it took you? I was trying to find the details in the WM, but don’t see anything specific for seal replacement.

Snap ring pliers is about the only special tool I can think of.
