If I remember correctly there is a bolt on the end of the drum that comes out and the drum slides off the shaft. The oil seal is right there. If there is oil leaking from the bull gear holder (not sure exactly what that part is called) that requires removing the top and doing a lot of stuff. Most likely though all you need to change in the oil seal.
I believe it is called the bull pinion carrier. You are correct about the other stuff.
I would wager if the oring is leaking on the BPC (Bull Pinion Carrier) you could back it out until you feel it hit the bull gear and have enough room to slip an oring on. With all that said, the oil would be leaking down the rearend prob not into the brake area.
The Tractor Vet's procedure is dead nuts on and not nearly as hard as it sounds. The bull gear is heavy and that might cause some problems in getting it lined back up. Having done it once with everything apart I bet I could redo it in a weekend no problem.
My local independant IH repair man says you can change out that big double seal on the BPC w/o taking the BPC out. I tried it and then...well...I don't want to talk about how my BPC broke. Looking back I would guess it could be done. The outer half pried out really easy. The outer cage is really tough, but you could do it. I doubt the guy is making it up. He moves A LOT of tractors through the shop.
I found three extra problems with everything apart so it was all well worth it. After I put new seals in everything it was about $300 plus $250 for some bad bearings and gears and poppet springs. Most seals were from IH, but I should have got them from the bearing shop bc most were half the price of IH.
