I had to do this when I bought my 01 hoe, and it is a pain. Do yourself a favor and change out the axle seals while you have the axles out. Check out your axle bearings while the seals are out too.

Also forgot to mention check the inside of the rotor (drum for ebrake) to see if it is worn. The reason I had to change mine was because the PO must have driven with the ebrake on because the rotor was warped, the drum was shot and the shoe was down to metal on one side.

i do these all the time at work. you dont need to remove the axle. just pop the 2 clips off and pull it off the adjuster and it can be taken out around the axle at the right angle
