S11a Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I own s2a with standard gearbox the hand brake does not hold the vehicle; on inspection the drum was full of gear oil!! Is this an easy fix ...any advise would be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 One thing to check - is there too much oil in the transfer box? If so it may have leaked from the gearbox due to a failed oilseal between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 The rear output seal, behind the rear output flange, is the one you need to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4X4byV8 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Back off the shoes and grab the drum see how much play there is. The seal wears out because of excessive movement of the output shaft, this can be either loose castle nut on the drum or the output shaft bearings need tightening. There are shims between the transfer box and speedo drive housing, these are removed to take up the slack in the bearings. Its worth taking the speedo unit off to help remove the seal anyway. Also there is a felt seal on the output shaft to be changed, its the same as used in the axle halfshafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
