Need help w/ bearing seal

'47 BN. Bearing and seal on the diff shaft where it exits the differential to the housing. I've done all I can think of without bustin' anything, and I still have a leak and, more worrisonme, a noisy bearing.

When I was rebuilding, this is the only bearing I didn't replace. Couldn't get the cage out of the tranny housing and didn't want to bust any thing. The one on the right side went fine, but the one on the left I couldn't get out. It wouldn't come straight out, cold, or with heat on the tranny case. I tried walking it out by working lightly with a wedge behind each of the three ears on the bearing cage. Nothing doing. So I closed it up, and drove in two of the new seals. The tractor sat for a while and that spot is my only leak.

I pulled the final drive and shaft housing once more before starting to paint the tractor. Same deal, couldn't get the cage out. This time I did wobble a little space betwen the shims and sprayed them clean before putting it back together with two new seals. Still leaking.

I could live with the leak, but that bearing really does need changing out.

Anybody have any useful experience in getting that bearing cage out of there? If I can get the bearing replaced, I'll have a better look at that shaft. It's possible it's worn enough that I could get a different seal to work, or (if they make them in the right size) speedy sleeve it so that it'll seal up.

I'm all ears.
