SW Iowa | How bad is it leaking? A drip or two on the wheel? How often have you been greasing it? Where is it leaking, on the inside of the rim of the outside of the rim? The seal kit is probably around $900-1000, and an experianced tech can probably reseal the motor in 2-3 hrs. It is not a job for the faint of heart, it is easy to screw up, and its easy to end up needing a $7000 reman motor from a mistake on assembly. I've probably done 50 of those, and ended up having to hang a couple remans due to a failure(either parts or induced upon assembly).
Look at it this way. There is a guy in your area that does them often, he drives a white service truck with a yellow stripe, and if he screws up the assembly, and ruins the motor, his company will buy a reman. I would suggest you hire it done this time, help/watch the tech do the repair, have him explain how the motor works, and then you can decide if you want to tackle the next one when it leaks.
If I never see the inside of one of those motors again, it will be too soon.
