Thought i'd give it a go this afternoon
I followed the guides in the how to section.
All seems to have gone reasonably OK,
A couple of parts i will need to change at some stage...
The bolt that goes through the back end of the reaction lever to the FD,
For some reason there was a small brass spacer behind the the large washer that abuts the reaction lever...
No idea what or why, looking at he parts fiche, its not meant to be there so it didn't go
back!Noted that the depth of spline cutting on the associated bolt is near on feck!
At 43Nm, it started to go a bit cheese, I'll order a new nut bolt & washer for when i next do
my FD oil.
FD oil was black, no surprises, but not to smelly, compared to the Gearbox oil.
What looked like filings on the sensor, but was more thick paste when wiped and spread for
examination. Now got some nice Syntrax in there
The input shaft splines had grease on them ( not a lot, but grease non the less)
It now has a healthy covering of Moly grease
The UJ was clean, and had what looked like moly grease around its rotational faces.
It now has a lot more moly grease
One quick Q, how do you know if the rubber boot has located correctly??
Everything is back together, and I gave the boot a good push and twist, and it seems to sit
nicely against both faces
Cant see any leaks, but I'll know after running to work tomorrow
