NEVER BEFORE SEEN: RK and TYM T25 Hub Bearing Seal Replacement - E131

Yes. you can do it!
This has been leaking for a while on the front end of the RK25 tractor and I was putting off replacing this part that was losing oil. It wasn’t a lot but it also wasn’t good.
We go through step by step on how we replaced it and cut out some of the mistakes so you don’t fall into some of that. Timewise it took us about 2-3 hours to take apart along with remove from the tractor. Reassembly was about a half hour. Filling up the axle with new oil took probably an hour.
Here is the parts and tools list:
