JCB PD70 AXLE / check brakes

[Geoffreywrc]

How does anyone know when the disks need changed on a JCB PD 70 axle .
Is there any easy way of even checking them
To see if there is anything left on the disk as all is internal

Are the brakes working ok?

Have you dropped the oil?
What colour is it?
Any glitter or shite?

Yes brakes are working.
Dont know the history of the axle. Looks they were never looked at as bolts look like they never had a socket on them.
Is it a big job to take 1/2 axle out to check them.
