neil110 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Presuming the box is still in the vehicle, engage diff lock and apply hand brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Oh it's still on!!! Well that seems simple enough? Thanks for that, cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Ok so it’s been a year 😂 Hope you’re well. Doing my transfer box front output seal currently. Last year I replaced the flange and seal but it’s weeping again 🙄 I think it wasn’t in far enough. Does the seal go right up against the bearing? And if so, how did you get it seated? It’s a royal pain even using the hub spanner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Sadly my memory doesn't last 5mins. let alone a YEAR!?! But I think the seal fits just passed the front rim about 1-2mm...……. Have you remembered to fit the FELT WASHER????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yes I remembered the wee felt washer, also soaked it in oil before fitting. Thinking about this overnight etc, I originally thought it should be pushed right against the bearing but then if I did that, it might be in too far and not seal against the flange properly? Allowing the oil to flow over the bearing and escape. Hmmmmm 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashtrans Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Did you change the flange too ? often the seal wears the flange so the new seal doesn’t seat properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems all good now, sorry Mutley for the hi-jack. I managed to seat the seal just inside the casing so it was “hanging” on sort of speak. Then slipped the flange on, felt washer, heavy duty washer and then nut. Slowly tightened up the nut and it pushed the seal in nicely. All tightened up and seems good. When lock down is over 🙏🏻 The next camping trip should be a good test for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
