Before you take the seal retainer off, check the preload on the bearings by lifting on the end of the axle. You shouldn't be able to get any "shake" out of it. Clean that axle off really, really good and oil it down so the new seal won't get cut on reassembly. Slowly turn the cap/new seal and be careful as you go back on. Also, you're probably going to need a 6-point socket to get those 4 cap screws out. The heads get rounded off on the top two bolts over the years and makes for hard removal. No, no felt. Both the new double-lipped seal and o-ring run me something like $54 per side at CaseIH? Picture shows what the collected twine fibers do to an axle seal. Allan
