The book says lower the temp of the shaft and press into the carrier to the retainer to set the preload on the bearings. I would like to know how tight they fit? Can they be knocked in with a sledge?

    D6H leaking final drive seal

    I've got a D6H ser#4RC1XXX leaking oil from the final drives into the transmission. I figure its the seal, part #30 in the parts pic. I would like to pull the axle and replace the seal without removing the final from the machine. My book doesn't have assembly/disassembly info. Whats the best...
