I done mine when the box was out of the car when i done the clutch and fly. They say you can do it without removing the box and i remember a post of someone saying you could get to it from inside the car but i wouldn't know what was easier.

Terminator Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) It is easier and safer not to remove the old seal. If you scratch the bore in an attempt to remove the old one, it will always leak no matter how many new seals you put in. I made up a simple tool from copper tube to push the old seal back a bit and then to insert the new seal. You can drop the back of the box to get at it under the car. From inside the car I would have thought it would be a pig of a job. I did mine out of the car, this post shows what you are dealing with. You really need the best access you can get.

Paul Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Phil, did the double seal stop yours leaking? Phoenix did that with mine but it still weeps Maybe I should go fo a third one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Phil, did the double seal stop yours leaking? Phoenix did that with mine but it still weeps Maybe I should go fo a third one Yes bone dry ever since. If the bore is scratched it will never seal completely. Not sure how many seals can be squeezed in;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 i just started doing mine and i've already rounded off one of the prop bolts on the gearbox side looks like the knackered seal has eaten my gearbox mount aswell so i need a new one of them too. the guy on SF says its an easy job at the end of his post but i've already swore plenty of times!
