I wonder if your Case has the same brake arrangement as the Cockshutts we 
have here. For years mechanics looked for a means of installing new seals 
over  the splines without stretching and damaging the new seals. Finally a 
simple farm boy discovered that the spline shaft that the brake disks ride 
on is actually removable with one big nut (or stud) recessed in the end of 
the shaft. Once that splined section is removed it is no problem to place 
the new seal on it and re-install the spline shaft.
The Cockshutt brakes were very similar to the disk brakes on the 730 Case. 
In fact I think I bought Case linings and re-riveted them onto the Cockshutt 
disks. The Case  spline was different from Cockshutt and would not match but 
the linings were inter-changeable. They even had a handy riveting tool at 
the Case dealers to use for attaching the new brake linings.
