The oil leak is getting worse and its really gonna need sorting soon.

 

I'm leaking oil from the main rear seal. Needs changing.

 

Do i need to pull the gearbox and all its wiring etc/ prop shaft off to get the thing off. And is there a special tool needed as its got a splined shaft that goes into the torque convertor coming from the engine. Is that removable so i can get a bearing puller on it???

 

I'll budget 2-3 days to do it, gearbox only went on in feb so no olts should be siezed etc

Gearbox out complete with torque convertor intact, so undo the 4 bolts (I think) holding it to the mounting plate attached to the crankshaft. You will have to rotate it to get to them all. Remove the mounting plate also. When that is done you will see the rear main oil seal which can be hooked out with a suitable oil seal removing tool. When inserting the new one, lightly lubricate it and make sure it goes in squarely without cutting the rubber casing. Re-assemble as removed. before removing the propshaft, it is advised to mark its position on the diff flange and re-assemble in the same position, this apparently essons the chances of getting vibrations from the prop afterwards. By the way, the box is foooking heavy.

Great Thanks!!!!!!!

Yeah Yeah yeah...........it might not have been my 'best' idea not to have changed it, lol :slap:

while youve got it off... most definately change the ***** too as youll prolly be dropping it for a 3rd time when that fails...
