Got my bearing off and well now I know why my axle seal was leaking....

According to the wsm the bearing is pressed on and says to press it off. Replace seal and press the bearing back on. And all the other parts is says to slide off.

Now I’m in need of a press to get this bearing off..... I think I found someone who can help get it off a friend of a friend (only mounted to tire to get axle nut off)

There are two cotter pins under the pro that keep it from sliding all the way out but it is rusted in on the other side of the tractor and I think it would be more trouble then it’s worth to try to remove the whole pin

With help from a friend and 2 4’ tire irons we wiggled it off

Also I wonder if I could find a newer style pin that wasn’t a solid shaft but would bolt on the each side vs one solid rod

I I thought about cutting the pin but all I have found is a used pin, also I have tried to get it to go back towards the tractor and I can’t get it to go back either so I’m kinda between a rock and a hard place I may use a small propane torch to heat it a little and see if it will slide for me

Polished the rod as best as I could going to let it sit till tomorrow going to get a clear head and not be frustrated when I come back to work on it

Well I got it this far and it’s extremely difficult to get this far I sprayed it and cleaned the shaft I am going to polish it a little more. Also hit the end of the shaft with a hammer and messed it up so going to be interesting when I get to the end of the rod..... you live and you learn I guess

Ok I got my case all loose and broke free from the tractor but it is rusted to the pin the arms mount to, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to break it free?

Does the brake need to be removed first or can you pull the whole side as one unit to get the axle out?

Found a local tractor parts place a guy runs out of his shop and got me everything I needed.

I was hoping someone has replaced the seal already and could lead me in the direction to purchase them......

I just got my new to me L225 to the house got it in the garage to fix steering problems. well it hasn't moved in a few years according to the lady i bought it from, well now the right side rear axle is leaking at the seal on the end. how hard is it to replace and what all gaskets/ seals are...
