Cheryl, Sometimes, you can pull out the PTO shaft and snake a socket onto those nuts. The PTO is easy to remove. You will, however, need to drain the trans/axle, but it's a lot simpler to do than to take off the axle housings. If the pins are seeping you may have a compound problem, however. If they are loose, the holes may be wallowed out. Tighten the nuts and make sure the pins don't move. Under normal circumstances the holes and pins are tapered and self-sealing. If you can get to the nuts, I would at least loosen them, push out the pins, wipe away the oil, and use RTV silicone sealant when reinstalling them. JB Weld is great, but making a surface patch won't fix the problem. If the holes are wallowed out, remove the pins and spray on some mold release onto the pins. Coat the holes and pins with JB Weld and re-install them and let them set for a day to harden. If the pin ever need to be removed, the pins can be knocked out when you use the mold release. I've reinstalled bushings in front loaders and front axle pivots by using JB Weld to bond the bushings in place. I'll coat the pins with mold release and when the JB Weld has cured, I'll knock out the pins and install whatever the assembly. It's been great for me. Ken McWilliams Dayton, OH
