My 165 brakes are terrible and need some work. I'm wondering if I have a bad oil seal that is leaking oil onto the pads. I have good pedal play and don't think it's a matter of linkage or adjustment. My question is how hard is it to get at them. They are the 7" disc type. Do I need to split the tractor to assess them? Do I need any special pullers or is anything pressed in? I have the the factory and IT service manuals. The IT manual makes it sound fairly easy and straightforward but the factory manual makes it sound like it could be a HUGE undertaking. I'm up to the task either way but I don't want to tackle it right now if it's going to take me a week to finish it. Any advice or tips on doing it or thoughts on how long a job it is. I want brakes but I can't have my tractor in pieces for a month while I'm waiting to get special tools or parts I didn't know I'd need. Thanks for your help guys.

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
