Hi all, towards the end of my recent trip the seal between the drive shaft and bevel box failed dropping the oil from the shaft into the bevel box. I have drained off the excess oil and the level in the bevel box is stable. From what i can make out replacing the seal which is in the input end of the bevel box requires special tools and may not be easy in your own garage. I may do it or get someone else to do it in the winter.
BUT in the meantime does it have to run in oil. Is it possible to take the bevel box off and just grease the splines with a suitable lubricant (optimol) as per the dry shafts in paralevers etc and if not why not?. Any views???
regards Centurion
