It is a bear to get out. I had to take the other side apart and hit it from the other side with a long bar.
I tried a bearing puller and it just would not brake free.
Maybe if you had a large puller it may come free.
Getting it back in is not much fun also.
Good luck.
Thats the one that is leaking. It is inside the axle housing just inside were the u-joints are.
You have the remove, brakes, axle and spidle I think it is called that.
Getting the seal out in a bear, sometime you have to get it from the other side. So you end up doing both sides.
Sounds like the axle seal is leaking a little as you said.
I have one on my M931 that is leaking a little oil, more work to do on that.
Good luck with your repair!!
The A0 and A1's have the same motor NHC250 and the A2's have the newer Cummins with a turbo.
Tires, the A0's have the 11.00x20's on them and the A1's and the A2's have 14.00x20 on them.
The A2's have the CTIS tire air system on them, not a big fan of that. The enter wheel seal is a little hard...
I put a Curt on my M923A1. But I used the 2" model.
Here is a thread where I got my info.

Joe, Good looking Gen. and trailer.
That is the setup I was looking for, but I got a MEP-005a then got a M353 trailer to put it on.
I could not get the Gen. to start so I am having the IP Pump and injectors rebuilt.
Good luck with yours!!!
I think you could replace them to put grease in and then put the Allen's back in.
If you leave the Allen's I think it would cut the boots when you turn.
Just my thinking.
The bottom and top grease zerks are for greasing the king pins.
To grease the ball part of the axle you need to remove the Allen screws in it and pump it in that way.
The LO page above shows it as "L"
I have the one for the long airpack book marked but I could not find one for the short airpack. That is why I asked for some pics on how people did it with the short airpack.
I think I saw some at TNJ and Saturn surplus.
