Easiliy missed... I had same until someone pointed it out to me.  I was trying to work out how it manages to build up pressure but I suppose it does get pretty warm in there which expands the air/oil.   Mine is a 1989 ( 29yr old) and I have owned it close on 10yrs and yes, I ahve built up my own spares department too.:good:

do you put them in blindfolded ?........are they the bits left over from the last job in may 1939 ?

There you go, your having a pop already :lol::lol:.  Breather is fine  ditchman, its never had a new land fitted on that side. As time goes by the oil seal wears a groove in the land. Its amazing how rubber wears steel. I have seen unsecured hydraulic pipes wear through steel on earthmoving machinery.

Next up undo locking tabs on hub and remove the two big locking nuts, if you want to reuse bearings mind the front bearing dont drop out when lifting hub away. With the hub on the bench remove front bearing, Lever out rear hub seal and remove bearing. Now you have got half the bearings out you are just left with the casings, these can be drifted out with care.

Now for that land i was on about, this is sometimes called a distance piece, anyway this is where your back hub bearing and oil seal sits. There is no way it can be pulled off, so a sharp chisel and a couple of sharp whacks, it will fracture the rest of the way. Dont go mad with the chisel or you will go through and score the shaft. The old land has scoring but i have seen worse.

Not too much in putting bearings back, just reverse of taking them out. I could have made more use of my press but i hadnt got any mandrels to fit. In the picture i used the old bearing case to press the new one part way in. I finished up drifting the cases in with a piece of brass.  Then its just the messy bit getting plenty of grease in there, but dont over do it. I really dont know why the stupid pics have decided to go like this. That bloody ditchman sticking pins in my effigi . :lol:

The last time i fitted a new land was some years ago, at that time i had a piece of aluminium tube ideal for drifting the land onto the shaft. I will really have to tidy up, cant find it anywhere. I have enlarged the old land and welded it to a piece of mild steel tube, this will be my drift. So tomorrow new land in wifes oven, gas mark 7 for 20 minutes and job should be a goodun.
