My dad just bought a really nice B8200DT but about a week after he got it home, the left front axle began leaking fluid near the wheel. With help from our local Kubota dealer, seals and o-rings we will probably need have been purchased. We ordered a service manual thinking that would help but there really isn't alot of detail in how to replace these seals. We are both fairly handy with a wrench just never tackled this particular job. Can anyone offer any advice- is this a simple straightforward job or should this be left to an experienced mechanic? Any special tools required? Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some tips.

Found 2 bad oil seals and a collar that was worn. Not to bad of a job!
