the car...'<br>

I've done it. Get some small diameter steel rod--1/4" should do
it--cut into four pieces and grind the ends flat back about an inch
or more (like a long, flat screwdriver tip). On two of them, bend
the very tips into a 'hook;' you'll use these to extract the old
seal. Work these in and pull the old seal out, then tap the new
seal(s) in with the straight rods.<br>
<br>
Can be done.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I will answer your question #2. You can replace
the dust excluder by removing the steering lever and it may be
possible to replace the oil seal with the box in the car, I
have never done it that way, likely a little more difficult.
However, I would lave it in and instead I would drain the oil
and replace it with John Deere Corn Head Grease, it is a light
grease and that will take care of your leak. I did this on the
suggestion of Bob Yule at Autofarm about two years ago, best
thing I did to stop the leak.<br>
