Title: Changing the rear pinion oils seal
Post by: Cockney Boy on January 01, 2012, 09:42:09 AM: Not to keen on messing about with the rear axle but I've noticed done oils coming out the rear seal. Is it a mission or fairly easy to do?

prop bolts are meant to be renewed but i have never done so on my own jeeps so its up to you they aint dear

but i strongly recommend you drop the oil out and make sure its all ok as oil getting out can often mean crap can get in

:iagree:

Have noticed their is a trend. To drill out the Yoke prop bolt holes, to suit clearance for 6mm.
Use M8.8 Rated bolt and Nylocs. I stated M8.8 because the local DIY store, may well have silver coated chinese chocolate deritives on offer :icon_rolleyes:
