DC_ started following Persistent LT77 leak, Can you replace 6 bolt steering box with pitman (drop arm) still attached?, Do you grease it? and 2 others
-
Thanks Ralph just wanted to double check. Iโve got it in my head to use same oil as what your joining together. ๐๐
-
Got the part number off the actual shaft but it may be superceded by now.
-
Afternoon, Iโm in the middle (nearly finished hopefully) of repacking seals, O ring and gaskets on my LT230 transfer box. About ready to put it back in and wondered, do you put grease on the gearbox shaft (FRC5305) into the transfer box or does the EP90 gear oil do the job?
-
Thanks Ralph, hope yer ok down there ๐

Hi guys, looking to make sure I order the correct seal. Iโm taking off the transfer box from the gearbox and I suspect the seal on the LT77 needs replacing. Part number for genuine would be much appreciated. ๐
-
Thanks for the responses guys. I may try the seal to start with to see the outcome. If it goes again, then Iโll look into a proper refurbished box. Itโs bone dry everywhere else and has been good in the years Iโve had the truck. Don't suppose thereโs a good write up in the tech archives?
-
Iโll do a bit more research, itโs only a slight weep right now. Am I correct in thinking itโs an O ring failure?
-
Hi guys, just returned from my second camp to find the steering box is weeping at the bottom seal. Whatโs your thoughts? Easy enough to repair the seal or better to go for a good known box Replacement? ๐
-
Thanks for the info boys, something to look into for sure. Is there a massive difference with the R380 in place?
-
I did type LT230 Ralph but the blooming auto correct changed it ๐ Be interested to know costs ๐ค
-
Thanks for the details @reb78 appreciate it. My box has always been smooth and I do change the ATF regularly (probs more than needed). Iโm not allowed back to work yet so have another couple of weeks free. I might as well drop the RT230 transfer and have a look. It seems like a mix of EP90 and ATF to be honest. I laughed today when I was sniffing the oil. For me ATF smells like strong B.O. ๐ Would a stubby R380 fit a 2.5na and RT230 tranny? ๐ค

Resurrecting this thread....... did you manage to source the trouble of the leak @reb78 ? I seem to have a slight ATF leak very similar to yours
