[Dave_With_Cub108]

OK. Now, I'm beginning to understand: The retaining rings are accessible from the inside of the transmission housing not at the wheel end.

I my own defense, my copy of the Cub 108 service manual is somewhat blurred and I am a rookie when it comes to servicing the Cub. I am noticing that working on the Cub is very addictive, when the repair works.

So, when I get access by removing the transmission cover, I will pull the clips, slide the axle out of the housing.

Any tips to removing the oil seal. The manual says “collapse the seal with a hammer and chisel and pry the seal from the bore”. This sounds tricky; is there an easier way? I am thinking that the leak is most likely caused only by the oil seal. Is this true?

As you recommend, I will look at Brian Miller's Garden Tractor site and the OnlyCC tech. library rather than bother you asking step by step instructions.

Thanks again!
