What is the best way to remove the old break seal off of a 1941 H. I don"t want to mess up anything. Remember you are talking to a first timer.

It is not easy to remove the old seal but patience will help. Do not try to remove the cast iron seal retainer; it will break unless gears are removed first.
Be sure to get all the old seal removed; it is about 3/4" thick & has an outer liner holding everything together.
Replace with 2 (two) new style seals and put some chassis grease in between them for long term lubrication protection.
Use steel wool to clean the brake drum sealing surface making sure all scratches are removed.
Lube the brake shoe pivot bushing before you slide the new linings in place.
To adjust the set screw on the bottom of the brake cover, apply the brake firmly locking it in place. Now loosen the lock nut and turn the set screw in until snug; back out 1/2 turn and relock the nut.
Repeat for the other side and adjust the pedals for equal braking effort so when the pedals are locked together the tractor stops without pulling to one side.

Take off the brake cover and drum to expose the seal retainer. Remove the 3 bolts holding the retainer, and remove the retainer and change the seal.

I didnt think that that retainer came out without pulling the spider gears out.I just took a couple of long sheetmetal screws and drilled a hole for them to go into and snug up, then pried it out with a screwdriver.I did one on my M like that and cracked the retainer.(I was still able to reuse it)
