I noticed some oil leaking from the cone seal on on one of my final drives so i checked the oil level and its full (to the brim not just the fill plug) and seems to be under very slight pressure. I'm guessing the shaft seal on the motor has gone filling the gearbox with hydraulic oil and that the case drain has enough pressure to make the cone seal leak.
I had a look at the parts manual and it looks like changing the motor shaft seal is simply a matter of unbolting the motor from the gearbox, slipping it out then replacing the seal which is retained by a circlip. Am I missing anything?
By the way the machines a Hitachi Ex270-5.
