This week, my BIL in his dozer was pushing dirt.
He reverses the dozer then it doesn’t back up anymore....
A mobile mechanic comes out, spends half a day working on getting the track back on, does a temporary fix to get the track together and allow the dozer to get on a float to go to Cat for a complete new under carriage work.

My thoughts are if you had that much trouble removing wheels at home with all the tools, your wheel set was way overdue for maintenance. Imagine if you needed to do a repair away from home...
If you know the hardware was in good shape etc, then doing a hub seal without removing wheels makes sense.
I'm a licensed mechanic in canada and do cvips on school buses (trucks are once a year, buses are every 6 months up here). In order to be a licensed inspection facility there is required equipment that must be in the shop, including a tire dolly. A pallet jack is acceptable. It has about a 1/4" of dust on it lol.
It still can be used to remove the individual wheels to save your back..Last edited: May 22, 2021

Maybe something is wrong with me. I've done it with, and without. Even chassis grease on concrete. I prefer to disassemble them. Never failed, pull one off with dolley and some boss strolls by and tells you to put shoes and drum on.Last edited: May 22, 2021
