Gearbox Rear Oil Seal

[REPLIC8]

My gearbox is leaking from the rear oil seal around the output shaft. How easy is this to replace? Can't find any info in the workshop manual.

Remove this nut and flange and pull the seal out. Check Rimmers catalog for how the parts stack up.

Bear in mind that this nut can be pretty tight.
Ideally you'll need an impact wrench.

With the correct tools it’s a 5 minute job
(with the car on axle stands)

Hi Don,

Not that tight but not so easy on your back with limited room, air impact wrench is the tool for the job [:p]

Cheers John

When I reassembled mine I was able to get 90 ft/lbs on it. I called it good.
