So bit the bullet on Friday and decided to change the very rattly front output flange bearing. Even built a slide hammer out of an old training arm and a bit of propshaft. So never mind crawls under Disco in a howling gale to remove the output flange only to find that some previous owner had decided that a nylock M20 was superfluous, a plain M20 split washer and half a gallon on Lactate would suffice.......... No bloody wonder the thing came loose. New nylock, new oil seal and lots of anglo saxon later and the bearing that was in place seems fine!

I've always said breast milk was an over-rated thread locker. :D
