terc 26 #1 Posted 7 hours ago Hello All I'm going to replace the rear axle seals on my 314-8. The first side I was able to remove with some stubbornness, how ever the second one is refusing to move. It's been soaking for a week with PB Blaster and tapping with a hammer and punch still no movement. So I ask here for other members that have had this problem, what was there go to for removal.

mrc 1,071 #2 Posted 7 hours ago most of the guys here make a puller.. i used an old beat up hub. DO NOT USE A 3 JAW PULLER!!! YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BREAK THE HUB. others will concur best of luck to you. hub pulling and steering wheel pulling are the worst wh jobs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,062 #3 Posted 7 hours ago And don't use a hammer. The axle is secured with a clip inside the uni-drive and you can dislodge it which means you'll have to open the case to fix that. This is a really cheap puller that I made from an old hub. Works great with an impact wrench. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have had a lot better luck with Kroil and most definitely use a puller like something listed above. I have used a 3 jaw puller before but bolted a wheel spacer good and tight to hub first and it worked. Best of luck and like already mentioned kinda a rite of passage in the Wheel Horse world.
