Hey ya'll, new to Kubota and new subscriber on here. Wondering if anyone has advice on removing rear axle hubs on an L47 to replace seals. With tire, fender, hy lines, and upper support plate all removed, it appears you still don't have clearance to pull off. Thanks in advance.

You need to drop the loader frame down, It's quite the task.

Loader frame dropped, lots of stuff in the way.

Still had to rotate the housing to get it out. It's heavy.

So it looks like you left the full ROPS attached on the frame, did you also leave the loader arms connected and just rotate the back frame down once disconnected in the rear? And the puller/socket was used on the inside bearing? Good pics though.
