ThreeSheds Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 My 1990 RRC Borg Warner Transfer box front output bearing and oil seal need replacing since there is about 2-3mm play at the flange and it has started to leak. According to the manual the job is easy-peasy: 1. drain TB oil 2. remove front prop 3. in gear and remove prop-flange 4. remove 8 bolts and 'withdraw' the VC housing (complete with VC) 5. pry out oil-seal and remove bearing retention circlip. 6. gently persuade the output shaft and VC assembly out of the bearing/housing 8. drift out the bearing from the inside of the casing 9. replace the bearing and oil seal and put it all back together. There are just a couple of points I would like to check: 1. Are there any nasty little gotchas that I should know about before I start? 2. I have read somewhere when searching LR4x4 just now, that even with a new SKF bearing installed there is still an amount of play at the propshaft flange - does anyone have any opinions on this?

SteveRK Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I replaced mine along with a new chain and output shaft. Still had play which i suspect is down to the fact thats its quite a large plain ball bearing assembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's pretty normal to get some side to side/up and down play at the output flange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
task Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Both my BW TX boxes have had play here, I always thought it was a little abnormal but appears not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeSheds Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Hmm - seems that maybe I could have got away with just an oil seal and that's unfortunate since I have just ordered a bearing as well ! I did think that mine is a bit excessive at maybe 2mm though... Thanks for the replies chaps Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
