Rear axle housing removal advice on L47.

[Gunner]

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.

Here's what I'm working with.

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

I was afraid that was the case. That is an insane task to replace the seals.

Being built that way is what makes the L47 Tough!

My work area looks like Joes

That's a 2 1/2" socket

Loader frame dropped, lots of stuff in the way.

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