Read articles →An owner-produced walkthrough of rebuilding a leaking left front wheel hub on a Mahindra 4540, filmed while actually doing the job. It covers disassembly with specific tool tips (pickle forks, bearing puller tricks), part identification, a parts list with part numbers, Loctite specs, and torque values (roughly 50 ft-lbs). Best for 4540 owners facing the same front axle leak who want practical step-by-step guidance rather than a polished how-to.
Posted by the Texas Trapping And Hunting channel, this appears to be an owner sharing a first-time repair experience on their own tractor rather than a professional mechanic or dealership.
Find screws that fit the three perimeter screw holes on the inner hub and gradually thread them in, which pushes the outer hub off without prying or hammering.
Pickle forks rented from O'Reilly's placed on each side, hammered to start the gear, then a bearing puller fastened around the outside using a nut on the shaft.
The manual calls for about 65 Newton-meters, somewhere between 45 and 50 foot-pounds, using a 28mm socket.
The bearing was worn out, the oil seal underneath it, the spacer, and the O-ring on the outer hub assembly were all replaced.
