Re: Re: Gearbox Output Couplings & Oil Seals

OK – I made up the long lever tool that slots onto two of the flange bolts. Then after applying heat to the flange nut I used a long armed socket spanner and it loosened quite easily. Right hand thread.

Then the flange just eased off the splined output shaft. So no need for a puller…. phew.

So now I am faced with the metal oil seal. The leather inner seal (& spring) are knackered, hence the slow oil leak I have had from both sides. But do I just prise this metal cover off (damaging it) and replace with the new rubber seal I bought from CAS. I am hoping it does not sit inside and I have to open up the box to put it in….nah!, can’t be ❓ ❓
