I am leaking oil from the rear end from the stud that goes thru the lower link arm and into the rear end housing...The stud will rotate freely and go in and out about 1/4 inch....but it will not pull out...I see in my FO-4 that there is a nut with a cotter pin on the inside securing the stud to the housing....I guess the nut is not completely off on the inside as I cannot pull the stud out....Is there an easy way to tighten the stud without taking the whole rear end apart ????? .... As usual ANY opinions welcome...thanks...Alan

Alan I think you gots to pull the trumpit , Dont see any easy way out , there was a person on this board a while back said he got to his by removing the pto , but he could only get to one side ( dont rember if it was left or right side ) . The sooner you fix it the better , the hole gets walered out.

I was able to take the PTO shaft out and tighten the left side through the PTO hole. I wouldn't recommend it. Bite the bullet and remove the left axle trumpet, then you can remove the cotter pins easily and tighten both sides while you're at it. Use a new paper trumpet gasket. You'll have to wet it to stretch it to fit. Have a helper or available muscle to r/r the trumpet.
You don't say if you have an 9/2 or 8N. The 9/2 has a different set-up, but you still need to pull the trumpet. You can do the whole thing in a couple of hours.

No, you don't have to remove the hub, etc. Take the wheel off obviously. Then you will need some support for the trumpet...jack, jack stands, cherry picker, or a strong friend or two, because it is VERY heavy. As BG said, soak the new paper gasket so it will stretch into place. They are pretty thin and fragile so take your time positioning it.
