L2850 Leaky Front Axle

[xsnrg]

This is new in the past week. I noticed oil on the floor of my shop today, hadn't been there in about a week. It appears to be a leaky seal where the yellow arrows are pointed in the photo. Anyone done this repair and how involved/complex is it? Any input or tips appreciated

not very complex if you are mechanically inclined. I did my king pin seals on my b7800. you will most likely need snap ring pliers and a big dead blow hammer to get the spindle to go down low enough to get the snap ring back on. and regular wrenches and sockets too. I think there is an o ring where the case meets the axle tube as well.

maybe late, but if you haven’t gone in, this is a good watch on what you’re getting into:

That is exactly what I needed! I haven't started yet but now I know exactly what I need to do. Thanks!
